After Saturday’s loss at Auburn, Kentucky’s NCAA Tournament chances are…well, bleak. The Cats’ NET ranking is now 97, down from 88 a week ago. That’s 10th in the SEC, ahead of only Georgia — Wednesday night’s opponent — Texas A&M, and Vanderbilt.
4. Tennessee
18. Alabama
21. LSU
24. Missouri
35. Arkansas
47. Florida
69. South Carolina
78. Auburn
82. Ole Miss
83. Mississippi State
97. Kentucky
100. Georgia
121. Texas A&M
169. Vanderbilt
It’s starting to feel like a fruitless exercise, but every Monday from now until Selection Sunday, I will break down Kentucky’s team sheet, which the Selection Committee will use to decide whether or not the Cats deserve an NCAA Tournament bid.
