As March Madness approaches, analyst Jon Rothstein shared his predictions for the Kentucky Wildcats. Speaking on CBS Sports College Basketball, he said that if they can win on Saturday against Tennessee, they can win six games in March and go on a deep run.

"Kentucky will enter the NCAA Tournament as the team that has the highest ceiling in the sport when you think about their offensive capabilities. ... If Kentucky can win Saturday, it is all you need to know that they can win six games in March."

The Kentucky Wildcats are fourth in the Southeastern Conference with a conference record of 12-5 and an overall record of 22-8. In the last few matches, they have had notable wins against Vanderbilt (93-77), Arkansas (111-102), and Alabama (117-95).
