How far will UK go in the NCAA Tournament?

March Madness is here, and hopefully, it ends up much better than it did last year for the Kentucky Wildcats.

After being a 2-seed and a popular pick to reach the Final Four last year, Kentucky was upset in the first round by 15-seed Saint Peter’s, one of the only first-round losses in program history.

This year is a little different. After an up-and-down season, the Cats got in as a 6-seed and had a less-than-stellar showing in the SEC tournament, losing in the quarterfinals.

Their backs are against the wall, and they’re an afterthought for most casual fans this season.
