Kentucky mens basketball earned a No. 7 seed during the NCAA Tournament Selection Show on Sunday.
The Wildcats will first face off against the No. 11 Providence Friars, home of former Kentucky Wildcat Bryce Hopkins, in Greensboro, North Carolina, on Friday, March 17.
Providence finished the regular season fifth in the Big East with a 21-11 record to claim the No. 20 spot in the most recent AP Poll before falling in the quarterfinals of the Big East Tournament to UConn, which itself would go on to earn a No. 4 seed in the NCAA Tournament.
