UK's Quad-1 push: Cats climb NET, eye tougher seed with remaining schedule

Kentucky’s NCAA tournament resume got a boost with an upset of Arkansas, lifting the NET ranking to No. 28 and giving UK five Quad 1 wins with six Quad 1 games left, including a looming matchup with Tennessee; Indiana’s NET rise also moved the Arkansas win back into Quad 1 for now.
