Kentucky Gets On the Bubble?

Bubble Teams Before and After Bracketbuster Saturday.

Kentucky really improved their position Saturday with the win over Arkansas. With 4 games, left Kentucky needs to go 4-1 giving them a conference record of 12-4 in conference. There is no way that Kentucky will be left out of the Dance if this happens.

The teams with the worst RPI to receive a bid have been #74 New Mexico in 1999, #70 Air Force in 2004, #66 Minnesota in 1995 and three teams #No. 63.

By the Way: Dukie V. believes that Kentucky will play their way into the NCAA tournament.
