The Wildcats now sit at 17-9 overall and 8-5 in SEC play, part of a five-way tie for fifth place alongside Missouri, Texas, Vanderbilt, and Texas A&amp;M.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/nc.sportsbook.fanduel.com\/navigation\/ncaab?tab=conference-winners\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">According to FanDuel,<\/a> Kentucky currently holds the fifth-best odds to win the SEC regular season at +25000. The teams ahead of the Wildcats are conference-leading Florida at -2000, followed by Arkansas (+1200), Alabama (+5000), and Tennessee (+10000). With Kentucky sitting three games behind Florida and only five regular-season games remaining, the path to the top spot has become significantly more challenging.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/nc.sportsbook.fanduel.com\/navigation\/ncaab?tab=final-four\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">FanDuel<\/a> lists the Wildcats at +2700 to make the Final Four in the NCAA Tournament, tying them for the 21st-best odds with Texas Tech, North Carolina, Texas A&amp;M, and Wisconsin.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Meanwhile, for a potential championship run, <a href=\"https:\/\/nc.sportsbook.fanduel.com\/navigation\/ncaab?tab=national-champion\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">according to FanDuel, <\/a>Kentucky sits at +10000 to win the NCAA title, again tied for the 21st-best odds. Michigan leads all teams with +330 odds to cut down the nets.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">With the SEC standings tightening and the postseason approaching, Kentucky must regroup quickly. Every game from here on out carries weight, and the Wildcats can\u2019t afford a prolonged skid if they want to solidify their March resume.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Kentucky Wildcats\u2019 late-season slide has reshaped their postseason outlook, dropping them in both the SEC title race&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":615196,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3723],"tags":[7,217,38124,244,8582,231,772,1544],"class_list":{"0":"post-615195","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-ncaa-basketball","8":"tag-basketball","9":"tag-college-basketball","10":"tag-kentucky-wildcats-basketball-news","11":"tag-kentucky-wildcats-basketball","12":"tag-kentucky-wildcats-news","13":"tag-ncaa","14":"tag-ncaa-basketball","15":"tag-ncaab"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nba\/116106952951435504","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/615195","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=615195"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/615195\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/615196"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=615195"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=615195"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nba\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=615195"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
