The Kentucky Wildcats have high chances of becoming NCAA national champions. Kentucky’s unique talent gives it a special edge against other teams and with their skillful players and experienced coach, the Wildcats will be victors next week.

Kentucky, ranked second in the ESPN preseason poll, has played phenomenally as a team. With only two losses this season, they went on to defeat every NCAA opponent by double digits, the first team to do so since 2009. Freshman Anthony Davis, who received preseason All-America honors, is expected to be the star of the game. Forward Michael Kidd-Gilchrist is no less, scoring 24 points and grabbing 19 rebounds in their previous game against Louisville.

With their 15th appearance in the Final Four, there is no doubt some credit goes to their coach, John Calipari, the former NBA, UMass, and Memphis head coach. His ability to recruit high-caliber players has allowed the Wildcats to reach the Final Four.

Even technology foresees Kentucky’s victory. USA Today computer analyst Jeff Sagarin ran four billion computer simulations, and predicts that Kentucky will defeat Ohio State to win the national championship. He explains to USA Today, "Quite frankly I think this Kentucky team is a little better. The way Kentucky plays together; they are probably the most unselfish team I've seen in quite some time … I'd be very, very surprised if they get beat.”

The Wildcats will probably be national champions on Monday, for the first time since 1998.
