After losing to Missouri on Wednesday and falling into a 0-2 hole to start SEC play, Kentucky men’s basketball is officially on the NCAA Tournament bubble.
ESPN’s Joe Lunardi updated his Bracketology projections on Friday morning. And while he still has the Wildcats in the field of 68 right now as a 10-seed (down one spot from his previous update), he believes Mark Pope‘s group is firmly on the bubble. Lunardi has Kentucky as one of his Last Four Byes (the last four teams to skip the First Four round), along with Miami (FL), NC State, and Ohio State.
