Unfortunately, the stars seem to be alligning for UK

First Melo goes out for SU (The one guy they couldn't lose) than Marshall for UNC (Ditto). Given that those were the only two teams who really could have matched up with UK, it would take a big choke job at this point not to win the tournament. I simply cannot begin to prepare myself for the image of Calipari holding the trophy above his head...I just got sick.

This sucks, but if you want to find a silver lining, at least media darling Roy Williams won't tie Calhoun in championships. I sure hope a team like OSU, MSU, or Baylor can win it but I just don't see it happening.

I think Baylor matches up better with them than Syr, they won't win tho

 

[UConn4ever]

Hope Indiana takes them out

I'd rather Kentucky win than Cuse or UNC. Would like none of the above first of course.

same here

I think IU takes them out. If not and UK ends up winning then so be it. After years and years of cheating Calipari can join the ranks of the one national championship club.

I think Baylor has the talent to beat them, but you have to remember, they are coached by Scott Drew. They also have two more virtual home games in Atlanta before heading to New Orleans, another Kentucky friendly environment. The odds are stacked in their favor this year. If they *k it up I'll be laughing all summer.

I think this is a little exaggerated. Kansas' team last year was just as good as this year's UK and they got blitzed by VCU in the Elite 8. Anything can happen and I think their 2-loss record is a bit deceiving. Particularly considering they don't have a very deep bench and play in a league built for them to thrive in.

UK is a good team, and has a great shot at the Final Four but I have a hard time believing it's their tourney to lose. Maybe they are technically the favorites now but I still think it's wide open

Scott Drew versus Calipari...not exactly a heavyweight fight when it comes to in game adjustments.

As good as the Morris twins were, a team that started Brady Morningstar and Tyler Reed(I can't even remember who played the 3) was not as good as this UK team is.

Its uk`s tournament to lose.

 

[NutmegState]

Better UK than anyone from the ACC (Cuse).

I don't agree with this. The longer we can continue the narrative of Calipari not being able to win a championship despite hand picking whatever recruits he wants, the better. And frankly, this current team is the best one he's ever had.
