Morehead State is Kentucky’s lone representative in 2021 NCAA Tournament field

In what has played out as a bizarre college basketball season, Morehead State is the only Kentucky team to make the 2021 NCAA Tournament.

Kentucky had a losing record and Louisville was the “first team out” of the field that was announced earlier this evening.

NKU, EKU, Murray State and WKU all lost in their conference tournaments and Bellarmine was ineligible for the NCAA Tournament this season due to their transition period to Division I.

The Eagles, winners of the Ohio Valley Conference, earned a 14-seed in the Big Dance and will face third-seeded West Virginia in the Midwest Region.
