Updated Bracketology predictions for Kentucky the morning of Selection Sunday

Despite getting knocked out of the SEC Tournament in its opening-round matchup, Kentucky was, at the time, still in line to earn a three-seed in the NCAA Tournament by most publications. But a couple of days later on the morning of Selection Sunday, the Wildcats appear to be trending toward a four-seed.

ESPN, The Athletic, and USA TODAY all have Kentucky projected as a four-seed in their Bracketology updates from Sunday morning. Another major publication, CBS Sports, still has the Wildcats as a three-seed.

Here is where those four see Kentucky landing in the Big Dance — Spokane (WA) couple be a city to keep an eye on for the Wildcats’ first-round location.

• ESPN: 4-seed vs. 13-seed UAB (Spokane | South Region)
• The Athletic: 4-seed vs. 13-seed Akron (Spokane | South Region)
• USA TODAY: 4-seed vs. 13-seed Yale (Pittsburgh | West Region)
• CBS Sports: 3-seed vs. 14-seed Morehead State (Brooklyn | East Region)

Looking at BracketMatrix.com, which includes bracket projections from over a hundred recognizable outlets, Kentucky’s average seed is 3.59 out of a possible 103 brackets. However, when just accounting for the brackets updated on Sunday morning, Kentucky is a four-seed in 22 of the 31.

All 68 teams in the 2024 NCAA Tournament bracket will be revealed during the Selection Show which will take place this afternoon at 6:00 p.m. EST on CBS.
