Joe Lunardi’s latest bracketology, released this morning on ESPN, has Kentucky listed as a two-seed in the South Region.
The one-seed in that bracket is Baylor. Kentucky’s potential Sweet 16 matchup would be three-seed Florida State, who dropped a seed line after back-to-back losses.
The interesting part of the bracket is the four and five seeds. Lunardi has UCLA as the four-seed, with Duke as the five. Could you imagine that second-round matchup with a spot in the Sweet 16 on the line?
In this bracket, Kentucky would face off against Winthrop in the first round, then moving on to face off against the winner of Northwestern and Clemson.
