Kentucky is a three-seed in the South in Joe Lunardi’s latest Bracketology over at ESPN.

In this scenario, the Wildcats will be sent to Greenville to take on 14-seed Georgia State in the opening round, followed by a matchup with either Florida State (6) or Loyola Chicago (11) in the Round of 32. This would likely set up a battle with two-seed UCLA (2) in the Sweet 16, followed by a potential matchup with one-seed Kansas in the Elite Eight, both games being in San Antonio.

Check out the complete region:

Gonzaga is the No. 1 overall seed, with Duke, Kansas and Purdue being the other one-seeds. Memphis, Villanova, UCLA and Baylor represent the current two-seeds.
