Is Joe Lunardi too low on the Kentucky Wildcats in his recent Bracketology update?
Mark Pope is getting ready for year one as the head coach of the Kentucky basketball program, and he has a team that can make a run in the NCAA Tournament. Coach Pope’s team has a lot of veteran players that have them built for a run in March.
Joe Lunardi of ESPN just updated his Bracketology and has the Wildcats as a six seed in the East Region. The Wildcats, in this draw, would play the winner of Villanova and Pittsburgh, who would be playing for the 11 seed, in the first round of the tournament. This game would be played in Milwaukee if the Wildcats were to receive this draw. If Kentucky won their Round of 64 matchup, they would play the winner of Baylor and Louisiana Tech in the Round of 32.
What stood out about this draw for the Wildcats was their #2 seed being, UConn, which is a draw no team wants. The Huskies have won back-to-back National Championships, and Dan Hurley has the team necessary to pull off the three-peat.
In the most recent Bracketology update from Lunardi, there are ten SEC teams in the field, which has the SEC tied with the Big Ten tied for the most teams in the tournament.
Coach Pope’s team has the upside to be a higher seed in the NCAA Tournament, but knowing how much of a gauntlet SEC play will be this season, a six seed could end up being where the Wildcats end up in year one of the new regime.
Beechwood senior wide receiver Tyler Fryman has committed to University of Kentucky football and baseball according to Hayes Fawcett of Rivals.
Fryman made the change to the Wildcats on June 26, just three days after announcing he was decommitting from Louisville Cardinals baseball. Fryman had been committed to Louisville since 2023.
The four-star recruit took an official visit to Kentucky on June 19. A week later, he’s flipped his school and added a new sport.
For Beechwood last season, Fryman caught 62 passes for 1,320 yards and 23 touchdowns. He was also the 9th Region Player of the Year in baseball and an indoor track state champion.
Fryman also had football offers from Cincinnati, Notre Dame and Ole Miss among others.
GRAYSON, Ky. (WSAZ) – New information has been released in the search for a missing woman at Grayson Lake.
According to game wardens with the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources, Marly Kinney, 19, of Ashland, was last seen at Grayson Lake on Wednesday afternoon.
They say search efforts are focused on the water at this time and include Kentucky State Police aerial support, drones, boats, and K9 assistance.
Crews suspend search for missing teen for the night
The search is now into its third day, with officials saying on and off rain has hindered their search and that a group of 50 volunteers are walking the banks of the lake to help in the search.
Search and rescue boats have been seen at the lake as well.
Officials say there are still many questions, including if Kinney is still alive and where exactly she went missing.
They also say they’ve been using a variety of equipment, including sonar and thermal detectors, as well as helicopters and underwater drones.
WSAZ received a statement from Kinney’s family Friday afternoon:
“We are very appreciative of the absolute surplus of support from law enforcement, search and rescue, 1st responders, and all of the community and its volunteers that are here with us and for us searching for Marly. We do not even know how to express our absolute gratitude to you all. We continue to have faith she will be found and brought back to us. We know we have the very best people doing all they can to bring her home.”
Anyone with information is asked to call 911.
We are still working to get more information.
