Projected seed: 1
Kentucky's resume is bolstered by impressive wins against top-tier opponents, including a narrow victory over Duke and an exhilarating matchup against Gonzaga, showcasing their ability to compete at the highest level. Their offense ranks near the top nationally, with notable performances such as their dominant scoring against Wright State and Lipscomb, where they consistently put up high points. However, their defensive metrics raise concerns, especially after a close loss to Clemson. Upcoming matchups against Alabama and Tennessee will be critical in solidifying their standing; a win against either could prove pivotal in affirming their status as a top seed, while losses could jeopardize their tournament positioning.
