ESPN Reseeds the NCAA Tournament after the Round of 64

The Kentucky Wildcats I guess have stayed the same in the minds of the talking heads at ESPN as they are ranked #5 in the reseeding of the NCAA Tournament after the Round of 64.


5. Kentucky Wildcats (Original seed: 2; Reseed: 2)

John Calipari’s team was dominant in a win over Abilene Christian in the opening round of the NCAA tournament, despite not having PJ Washington, who was injured. Yeah, the Wildcats didn’t play a great team, but the 39-13 tally in the first half, sans the team’s best player, was a strong start for Keldon Johnson (25 points, 10-for-16 shooting) and the Wildcats.

Besides Gonzaga, Kentucky was the only one of the top seeds that didn’t have any trouble at all with their first round opponent.

I would reseed the top teams like this:

1. Duke
2. Gonzaga
3. Kentucky
4. North Carolina
5. Virginia

How would you rank the top 5?
