The Kentucky Wildcats won the SEC Tournament on Sunday, and earned themselves an auto-bid to the NCAA Tournament!
The ‘Cats are going dancing again, making this the fifth consecutive year they will be part of the festivities under John Calipari. Coach Cal has led UK to the NCAA Tournament in every season he’s been a head coach in Lexington, with the exception of 2013. He’s also made it to the second weekend of the Tournament in every season except 2016. Rest assured, you can expect Kentucky to probably make another run this year.
The Wildcats will begin play as a 5 seed. Their first game will be against the Davidson Wildcats on Thursday in Boise, Idaho.
