Kentucky's Tournament Outlook | Kentucky Wildcats Basketball News

Kentucky’s NCAA Tournament hopes are heating up as Joe Lunardi locks them in as a five-seed, primed for a first-round clash with New Mexico and a potential showdown against Kansas or McNeese. The East Region is stacked with Duke at No. 1, Michigan as a two-seed, and UConn as a three-seed — even former Kentucky assistant Jai Lucas has Miami in as a seven-seed. The SEC dominates with 13 projected tournament teams, more than any other conference. Kentucky’s schedule is brutal: 19 tournament-bound opponents on the road, plus home games against Louisville, Wichita State, and James Madison before conference play. Early projections? Solid — but don’t sleep on the test ahead. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
