Kentucky (21-8, 9-5 SEC) has compiled an outstanding resume this season which includes the first 20-win season in seven years, a school-record nine wins in the SEC and a fourth-place finish in the league standings. UK also had an impressive showing in the SEC Tournament last week, earning a first-round bye before defeating No. 23 Florida 88-70 in the quarterfinals. The Cats advanced to the semifinal round of the SEC Tournament for just the sixth time in UK history.
UK, which has a current RPI of 22 according to the NCAA, has appeared in five NCAA Tournaments, the last coming in 1999. UK went 21-11 that season and earned the sixth seed in the West Region.

UK’s highest seed was in the 1982 NCAA Tournament. The Cats received the No. 2 seed in the Midwest and went on to advance to the Elite Eight vs. eventual national champion Louisiana Tech.
