I am expecting a close game between Carolina and Delaware. Dayton will have to game plan a defiant challenge to Kentucky's press at which I do not see them succeeeding. Kentucky by double digits.
Kentucky, last year, is the perfect example of a team surviving and advancing as they won their first round game by six, then beat Green Bay by three in the second round. Having little to no recall of the Elite Eight game against Connecticut, I have no idea how Kentucky was able to make it a 2 point game at halftime. I do however, remember how UConn got the 2 point lead at halftime. At that point, it seemed inevitable that UConn, despite all fears, would pull that game out.
A'dia Mathies, two time SEC Player of the Year has struggled mightily in the NCAA Tournament over the past two years. If and when she ever plays to form, Kentucky has a chance to make the Bridgeport Region quite interesting.
