Kentucky down to a six-seed in updated Bracketology


On Friday, CBS Sports’ Jerry Palm dropped Kentucky out of his NCAA Tournament projections following the Cats’ loss to Utah. ESPN’s Joe Lunardi didn’t go that far after Saturday’s loss to Ohio State, but he did drop Kentucky from a two-seed to a six-seed in his updated Bracketology this morning.
Gonzaga, Duke, Kansas, and Ohio State are all No. 1 seeds, while Baylor, Butler (!), Auburn, and Louisville are all currently on the two-seed line. Here is Kentucky’s projected region, for conversation purposes.

In what is shaping up to be a very strange college basketball season, all Kentucky needs to do is get in, play their tails off, and see what happens.

Lol that’s being nice. This is not a tournament team right now.
Hell their lucky to be in at all. If the name wasn’t Kentucky they would not be listed.
They look like a 6 seed… but Duke, who lost to SFA at home is a 1 seed. GMAFB.
This will be a bubble team I’m afraid. No inside game, poor shooting, and a bad strategist for a coach
Cal can keep his tricky catch phrases and learn to run a offense when we get beat by Louisville at home we will be a bubble team I just want this season over and Richards/EJ GONE.
You seem like such a joy. How about you go away for the rest of the season?!
I’m annoyed with this team, and almost find their lack of effort and focus makes them unlikable. There is about an 80% chance they lose to UL. However, if we play as hard as we played against OSU, we will finish with 8-9 losses, lose in the finals of the SEC tourney, and probably be a 6-7 seed. I think being down 15 against Utah finally got their attention. There is nothing like getting your @ss handed to you to wake you up.
So the brackets are out. Does the tourney start this weekend?

Easier said than done when you can’t shoot the basketball and have a big hole in the middle like a doughnut.
So you’re saying we have a chance.
