Not named Kentucky.

I am thinking Arizona and Nova.

I think the team with the best chance to knock out Kentucky is Notre Dame. If that happened the Final Four would be very interesting.

ND has no shot vs Kentucky. Not enough size.

I know it's a longshot. I can't really see anyone beating Kentucky. But if someone is going to do it, it will have to be a team that can get hot from outside and just rain threes on them. The team UK might run up against that is most capable of doing that is the Irish.

Northern Iowa's entire starting 5 shoots +40% from 3. That's the only way.

Heard some expert on CBS radio yesterday taking Jorr's side. If anyone can beat Kentucky it is ND. I hate ND but I guess it will take a team that can shoot lights out from the guard spots.

I just hope someone can get hot and beat Kentucky. That team just might be Wisconsin.

That would be another team that could give UK a game on the right night. They're not as likely to bump up against Kentucky as ND is though.

I am not sure Wisconsin can get out of their own bracket in order to face them.

North Carolina could be a tough matchup for Wisconsin and Arizona will be a handful.

Yeah, the committee gave Wisconsin their No. 1, but they didn't really do them any favors.

Watching the Razorbacks lose to Wofford will be my 2nd favorite moment of the tournament. :D

Watching Kentucky lose.

I probably won't get to see either, but a guy can dream.

You are not going to outshoot them. People really dont give the respect to UK's defense, they are one of the best defensive teams in the country.

Arizona and Wisconin have the best defenses, still with a big time offense.

SDSU has an AMAZING Defense, they just cant shoot, for example.

Buffalo put a mild scare into Ky back in November and the Bulls upset Central Michigan to win the MAC tourney in Cleveland @ Quicken Loans Arena over the weekend--where the Midwest regional will be played.

BF Kentucky's D is better than Zona and Wisconsin

People also dont give kentucky credit for getting better. 10 guys that talented, many playing college ball for the first time, they need time together.

All of their big men are top 10 NBA picks.

Here is the kicker. Wiltjer on Gonzaga, had to transfer from kentucky because he wouldnt play and he is one of the top scorers in the tourney overall.

Can someone beat them, of course its possible, but it will be a slow down game, with some great defense played. Cant go shot for shot with them and run. Wisconsin and Arizona have the ability to run big men out that can play. Kentucky just has more big men, so deep.

44% probability to win it all, might be the highest pick ever?

and I am a UK fan. I am all for the coach who has players major in NBA hoops. Good for them.

The interior D is...its the best in the country, the guards dont play D so much, they break long, which is fine. UK plays the odds to a point, first prove you can hit your outside shots before we start guarding you. Zona and Wisc play tough man to man, so does Virgina...but of those 3, Wisconsiin has the most fluid offense to compliment it.

Indiana grad. Can't like Kentucky. Won't do it.

I would pull for Purdue, Illinois, and Wisconsin before I would root for Kentucky

Nope. I think you are talking about a story I told on here one time involving a former pitcher for NIU.

TJ Lux played for NIU. My senior year of high school my team faced off with his team in the sectional. He pitched against us and I got the only hit off him that day. 1 hit shutout.
