Kentucky is playing for No. 1 seed against Tennessee

Following Oklahoma’s upset of Baylor in the Big 12 Tournament, a door was opened for Kentucky to claim at No. 1 seed on Selection Sunday. The Wildcats now appear one victory away from securing that spot on the top seed line for the first time since 2015.

On Saturday morning, ESPN’s Joe Lunardi did a hit on College GameDay and confirmed that the Wildcats will grab a top seed with a win over Tennessee on Saturday in the SEC Tournament.

“I think if the Wildcats win today — in the SEC semifinal — they will be a one-seed tomorrow night,” said Joey Brackets.
