While the Kentucky Wildcats haven’t won the NCAA championship in the last 14 years, they have all the tools to win it this year. The first seeded Wildcats have 16-0 league record and are 36-2 overall. They have only lost to the Indiana Hoosiers 73-72 and to the Vanderbilt Commodores 71-64. The Wildcats beat the Louisville Cardinals, the team that they are meeting on Saturday, 69-62 in an earlier game on December 31st.

One of the Wildcats biggest stars Anthony Davis banged up his knee against the Baylor, but he will play on Saturday. Davis has 14.3 average points, 10.1 rebounds, and 4.6 blocks. This alongside with another of the Wildcats stars Michael Kidd-Gilchrist’s average 12 points, eight rebounds, and one block per game, will certainly play a major part in the Kentucky Wildcats chance of winning. “What he does with his presence on the floor has made us from a Top 25 team to the No. 1 team,” said Wildcats coach John Calipari about Davis to ESPN.com
