Going into the SEC Tournament, the popular belief was that if the Kentucky Wildcats beat the Tennessee Volunteers and won the tournament, then they would lock up a No. 1 seed in either the South or Midwest Region of the NCAA Tournament.
However, that doesn’t look to be the case.
In an interview on the CBS Sports Network after the brackets were released, Duke’s athletic director, Kevin White, seemed to suggest that Kentucky was never in consideration for a 1 seed going into the conference tournament week.
