When the season began, people didn’t expect Kentucky to be a contender to host the first two rounds of the NCAA Tournament. Since then, Kentucky has worked up a 15-1 (2-0 SEC) record with some really solid wins on the resume. The Cats sit at No. 6 in the AP Poll and No. 7 in the NET at the moment, and those rankings now reflect where Kentucky stands in the latest Bracketology update.
ESPN’s Charlie Creme now has Kentucky as a 2-seed in his Bracketology, meaning that the Cats are projected to host the first two rounds of the big dance in Historic Memorial Coliseum.
