Where is Kentucky basketball in latest NCAA Tournament projections?

Kentucky basketball’s wins over South Carolina and Vanderbilt last week did it good in NCAA Tournament projections.

Entering last week off three straight losses (Florida, Georgia and Auburn), the Wildcats’ average seed on Bracket Matrix had dropped to 7.11. A week later, that had improved nearly a full seed line, sitting on 6.24 as of March 3.
