When the Kentucky Wildcats began the season 10-3 with losses to unranked Alabama and Seton Hall, few, if any saw this team being in the running for a 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament.
But the Wildcats would reel off 10-straight wins and a 16-2 record over the final 18 games, which now has them in line for a top seed if Selection Sunday was today.
Perhaps the most amazing part of Kentucky’s resurgence is they’ve managed to surpass the Duke Blue Devils, who handed the Wildcats one of their worst losses in the John Calipari era.
