Andy Katz has picked his preseason Final Four teams for 2019-20 and he has Kentucky just outside the top 4.
Katz currently picks Michigan State, Kansas, Florida and Louisville as his Final Four teams.
He has Kentucky, Seton Hall and Maryland “on the cusp” of the Final Four:
4 teams bound for the Final Four in Atlanta
1. Michigan State: The Spartans should be the preseason No. 1 — or at least in the top two — with the most experience back at each key position.
2. Kansas: The return of Devon Dotson, Udoka Azubuike and Silvio De Sousa make the Jayhawks one of the most veteran teams in the country.
3. Florida: Love this Gators team. Florida added its missing piece in Kerry Blackshear Jr. The return of Andrew Nembhard gives the Gators one of the best lead guards.
4. Louisville: The Cardinals could have the ACC player of the year in Jordan Nwora. Chris Mack has been close before at Xavier. This could be the year he crosses the threshold to the Final Four.
5. Kentucky, Seton Hall and Maryland are on the cusp of the Final Four.
