Right now, Kentucky is No. 59, just ahead of Duke, Indiana, and Davidson. Louisville, projected to be a 10-seed in the latest ESPN Bracketology, is No. 51. The Cats’ No. 59 ranking is good enough for eighth in the SEC. Here’s where each team in the league is in the NET rankings and Joe Lunardi’s latest projections:

7. Alabama (2-seed)
16. Arkansas (3-seed)
18. Tennessee (6-seed)
28. LSU (8-seed)
29. Florida (9-seed)
45. Missouri (8-seed)
53. Ole Miss (Next Four Out)
59. Kentucky
69. Auburn
78. Mississippi State
94. Georgia
109. Vanderbilt
134. South Carolina
143. Texas A&M
When you look at Kentucky’s team sheet, aka tournament resume, three losses spelled doom. The Dec. 12 loss to Notre Dame (NET: 82) at Rupp is now in Quadrant 3, while the losses to Richmond (NET: 70) and Georgia (NET: 94) losses are in Quadrant 2.

I just can't believe we're that high with a 9-15 record and really just one quality win (maybe two if you count Florida). If a team with a losing record gets an at-large bid then the entire tournament is a joke.

Zero chance of an at-large bid. We will have to play our way into the tournament, which I would say is about a 5% chance of success.

I would say it is more like 0% chance of success. LOL.
