It wasn’t the Quad 1 game we were expecting, but Kentucky’s victory over North Carolina did improve their NCAA Tournament resume. The Cats are up to No. 32 in the NET Rankings after falling to No. 53 after the Notre Dame loss.
This week’s opponent remains in flux following the postponement of the Louisville game, but if we’re talking NCAA Tournament resume, Kentucky should aim for Quad 1 or 2 opportunities. That means teams ranked between 1-30 (Quad 1) or 31-75 (Quad 2).
Here’s the current NET Top 25:
- Arizona
- Baylor
- LSU
- Purdue
- Houston
- Gonzaga
- Kansas
- Duke
- Auburn
- Tennessee

- Southern California
- Michigan State
