The ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥ Wildcats didn't do themselves any favors on improving their projected NCAA tournament seed with a 13-point home loss to UCLA.Â
Last week's projections saw the Wildcats either as No. 6 or 7 seed in multiple brackets. The NCAAÂ tournament selection committee revealed its top 16 seeds Saturday and didn't include ÃÛèÖÖ±²¥, despite the Wildcats having favorable analytics in NET and KenPom.
While this week's seeding predictions aren't strikingly different than last week, it should be noted that more brackets had the Cats on the No. 7 line as opposed to a No. 6.Â
