What Seed Is Kentucky In The NCAA Tournament? Odds of Kentucky Basketball’s Seed For 2025 NCAA Tournament

The homecoming season for first-year Kentucky Wildcats men’s basketball head coach Mark Pope has been a definite work in progress, with the Lexington basketball institution capping off the regular season with a 91-83 road win over No. 15 Missouri to finish off a 21-10 campaign.

Pope and his disciples enter the SEC Tournament on a two-game winning streak, having beaten LSU (95-64) and Missouri in the final week of the regular season, setting the stage for the team’s postseason opener against a TBD opponent at 9:30 p.m. Eastern time on Thursday.

For now, Kentucky is currently ranked 11th on KenPom.com and pinned as a third seed in ESPN bracket guru Joe Lunardi’s most recent mock field of 68, though much is left to be decided in the Bluegrass State as Pope and company look to get hot at the right time.

BetKentucky.com, as part of our Kentucky sports betting coverage, broke down odds on where the blue-blooded power stands entering the final full month of the NCAA basketball season, anticipating March Madness.
