Kentucky’s early exit from the SEC Tournament did not damage its NCAA Tournament seed too much. The Cats were No. 11 on the Selection Committee’s overall seed list, smack dab in the middle of the No. 3 seed line behind Baylor and Creighton and ahead of Illinois.
Kentucky’s opening-round opponent, Oakland, is the No. 55 overall team, while its potential second-round opponents, Texas Tech and NC State, rank No. 23 and No. 45, respectively. Of the eight SEC teams that made the dance, the Cats had the second-highest seed behind Tennessee, No. 5 on the overall list and the No. 2 seed in the Midwest Region.
Take another look at Kentucky’s region, the overall seed list, and the complete bracket below.
