Fresh off their wild 82-78 semifinal loss to the Tennessee Volunteers in the SEC Tournament, the Kentucky Wildcats gathered at the home of coach John Calipari to learn their seed and region for the NCAA Tournament on Selection Sunday.

The Cats were named the 2 seed in the Midwest Region and will play the 15 seed Alibline Wildcats on Thursday. The first weekend games will be in Jacksonville.

The Cats managed to avoid the Duke Blue Devils, who are the No. 1 overall seed in the East Region.
