Good morning, BBN!
Well, we’ve reached the point in the offseason where all there is to talk about is next year, which means it’s time for a way-too-early Bracketology!
ESPN just dropped theirs, and you can see the full bracket here.
Joe Lunardi has the Kentucky Wildcats as a No. 2 seed in the Midwest (Chicago) with Purdue as the No. 1 seed.
Other notable teams include No. 4 seed Auburn and No. 5 seed Louisville. That would be fun to see in the Elite 8. Here’s the rest of Kentucky’s side:

The Cats have had, arguably, the best offseason of any program in the country. They’ve had elite portal additions and a very strong freshman class led by Jasper Johnson coming in.
Mark Pope’s first year ended with a Sweet 16, but with a roster he had time to construct himself, I think BBN should be confident he’ll go even further next season.
