The Kentucky Wildcats had a chance to secure the 3-seed for the SEC Tournament and get their 5th win in a row on Wednesday night but came up just short against the Vanderbilt Commodores.
Heading into that matchup, the Cats were on the rise in Joe Lunardi’s Bracketology, as they were up to a No. 6 seed and had a very favorable path in the South Region.
Following the loss, the Cats have slightly dropped in Lunardi’s latest update, as they are now a No. 7-seed.
However, the Cats are still projected to the South Region, but their first and second-round games would be taking place in Denver.
According to Lunardi, the Cats’ path to the Final Four would be.
- Round of 64: USC Trojans
- Round of 32: Baylor Bears
- Sweet 16: Marquette Golden Eagles
- Elite Eight: Alabama Crimson Tide
