One more win might have earned the Kentucky Wildcats women's basketball team the right to be a top four seed in the NCAA Tournament. That would have allowed them to host the first two rounds. However, they'll enter March Madness as a five seed instead, and head to Morgantown, West Virginia.

The Wildcats will face a familiar foe for coach Kenny Brooks in round one. He began his head coaching with James Madison, and was very successful there, becoming their alltime leader in wins. Now, they're the 12 seed, and Kentucky's first round opponent.

If the Cats get the win, they'll likely face West Virginia in round two. The rest of the region has an SEC lean to it. The Texas Longhorns are the top seed. The Alabama Crimson Tide and Tennessee Volunteers also share that set of brackets.

Kentucky won't have an easy road to the Final Four, but they avoided sharing a region with Connecticut and South Carolina. Their quest begins on Saturday at 2:30 P.M. ET against James Madison.
