The Kentucky Wildcats’ success against top ranked opponents is keeping their hopes for an NCAA Tournament birth alive.
Over the weekend, the Cats defeated the No. 1 ranked Tennessee Volunteers in two of three games to give the Vols their first series loss of the season.
On Wednesday, the new projections for the field of 64 from Baseball America was released, and the Cats were on the bubble, being listed as one of the first four out behind Pittsburgh, Louisiana, and North Carolina.
With less than three weeks remaining before Selection Monday, every game matters for the Cats, and the upcoming weekend series on the road again South Carolina will shed a lot of light on the bubble race, according to Teddy Cahill of Baseball America.
