It took a little bit of a climb back and a couple of things to go Kentucky’s way, but the men’s team finally holds its own fate for the Eastern Division’s No. 2 seed in next week’s Southeastern Conference Tournament.

It’s pretty simple for the Wildcats: win on Sunday at Tennessee and UK is the No. 2 seed; lose and the Cats are the No. 3 seed. The second seed would mean Kentucky would earn a first-round bye, plus the Cats wouldn’t have to play the Thursday 10 p.m. ET game in Atlanta.

Alabama’s win over Georgia on Saturday put the fate of the No. 2 seed in the Cats’ hands. Georgia’s loss also means Kentucky can no longer be the No. 4 seed.

What Vanderbilt does Saturday night against Florida will have no bearing on UK’s seed, but it will affect Tennessee’s should the Volunteers beat the Cats. A Vanderbilt loss and a Tennessee win means the Vols would end up the No. 2 seed, UK the No. 3, Vanderbilt the No. 4 and Georgia the No. 5.

Florida is already locked in as the No. 1 seed in the East and South Carolina is the No. 6 seed.

All sound confusing? It is. But again, all UK needs to do is win Sunday.
