Jerry Palm of Collegerpi.com included Kentucky in his mock NCAA Tournament bracket on Monday.
Palm seeded UK at No. 11. The Cats would play No. 6 seed Pittsburgh in the first round. The winner would advance to play either No. 3 seed Xavier or No. 14 seed Siena in the second round.
Other SEC teams to make Palm’s mock bracket were Vanderbilt (fifth seed), Arkansas (11th seed), Tennessee (one seed) and Mississippi State (10th seed).
Ole Miss, which plays at Kentucky on Wednesday, had been a No. 12 seed in Palm’s mock bracket late last week. Monday’s update dropped the Rebels and added Kentucky.
