The Kentucky Wildcats (21-10) find themselves in unfamiliar territory this season, sitting as the fourth seed in this week's SEC tournament in St. Louis. Each of the past three seasons, the Wildcats have gone on to win the event, and they will look for a fourth straight title as the +400 co-third choice (bet $100 to win $400) on the 2018 SEC tournament odds at sportsbooks monitored by OddsShark.
Kentucky went 10-8 in conference play this year, the school's worst mark under head coach John Calipari. The Wildcats, back at +4000 on the 2018 NCAA tournament odds, entered the SEC tournament as the top seed two of the previous three seasons (2015 and 2017) and the second seed two years ago.
