After showing some life in the last three games of the season, Joe Lunardi restored some faith in the Cats by improving their seed one slot. The Cats are placed in Tampa (winning!) in
a bracket that has Pitt as the #1, Texas as the #2 and Purdue as the #3. It's not an awful draw, but Texas is a formidable two and Pitt is a strong one. Purdue, though playing well in winning seven of their last eight, isn't a terrible matchup for the Cats. Lunardi's latest bracket also has Georgia and Alabama falling out of the tournament, leaving the SEC with only four teams.
Here is where UK's opponents this season ranked:

10 - Washington
