Projected seed: 4

Kentucky’s resume showcases impressive offensive prowess, highlighted by victories over notable opponents like Duke and Gonzaga, both of which bolster their credibility as a formidable tournament team. However, their defensive struggles, particularly in losses to teams such as Alabama and Auburn, raise concerns about consistency. Close games against solid teams like Tennessee and Oklahoma demonstrate their potential for success, but the overall inconsistency in performance—most glaringly seen in losses to lower-ranked SEC teams like Mississippi and Georgia—creates uncertainty in their tournament readiness. The upcoming games will be crucial; if they can secure wins against some of the higher-seeded teams in their conference, they stand a strong chance to improve their seeding and project themselves as a serious contender.
