Will UK or Duke get the last 3 seed?

It's hard to even enjoy analyzing what seed we are going to get and possible matchups. This team honestly feels like another St. Peter's letdown is on the horizon.
We should be be ahead of Duke in the bracket regardless of what seed that means. I’ll be referencing NET in the next paragraph.
Kentucky has lost to 118 UNCW. Duke has lost to 127 Georgia Tech and 115 Arkansas. Kentucky has beaten 5 Auburn, 6 Tennessee, 7 UNC, 9 Alabama. Duke has beaten 14 Baylor, 25 Michigan State, and nobody else in the top 35.
We have more good wins, better good wins, more recent good wins, and Duke has worse losses than us. I don’t understand why this is a conversation that needs to be had.

If Auburn & Illinois lose than I think both get 3 seeds, if one of the 2 loses which is what will probably happen, I think it’s a coin flip and they will probably give it to Duke. But Kentucky should get it over Duke if it comes to that
You are right. But given past history in the seeding, I would not be surprised if Duke is seeded higher than UK . Currently, Lunardi has them as a 3 and UK as a 4.
Kentucky can’t complain about seeding. We lost 9 games, many at home and most to vastly inferior teams. We have no argument.
Most brackets still have UK as a 3 still today. They are certainly nowhere close to a 5
Are we really discussing if the selection committee will hook up Duke or UK?
Good post!!! Will have no quarrel with our seeding, whether it be a 4 or 5. Be pleasantly surprised if we get a 3, but I’m just going to laugh when they seed Duke ahead of us as I know it’s coming and Kansas too.
For this year‘s edition of Duke and Kentucky, I’d look less at seed and more at whose region I’m in. You certainly wouldn’t want to be in UCONN’s region. For either teams fans, I would probably want the Purdue region.
No disrespect intended to the Boilermakers who have put together some terrific seasons the last several years only to see it all come crashing down as soon as the NCAA Tournament started. There’s a lot of psychological weight there on that squad. At this stage with their level of experience, they may handle that just fine. OR, they could tighten up once again in the NCAA Tournaments first weekend.
