The Kentucky Wildcats, the most successful team in the NCAA should be the pick to win. They are a powerful scoring team and great on the boards with Senior Josh Harrleson, who averages 8.8rpg. They have two very talented freshman in Brandon Knight who is averaging 17.3 ppg and 4.2 apg and Terrence Jones who is averaging 15.8 ppg and 8.7 rpg.
The team averages 75.8 points a game and are tenth in field goal defense with 39%. The team lost to UConn in the Maui Invitational, but may get revenge like they did to UNC in the tournament. The team's great weakness is when Brandon Knight plays poorly. Games where he has performed poorly, Kentucky has shown difficulties scoring. They are a powerful team behind the arc and their shooting can bring them a win.
Questions linger about coach John Calipari whose last two appearances in the Final Four were vacated for breaking NCAA rules. He himself has not been indicted on any charges but players on his team have. Whatever Calipari may have done, he coaches his teams to success . The team may need help defending UCONN star Kemba Walker, who no matter what finds the shot he wants. Putting bigger guys on him have not worked for other teams, but if Calipari can put a guard with great defense on him. they can win the game.
