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

Kentucky has greatest chance to win Final Four tournament

As the NCAA tournament dwindles down to four, the champion is coming into focus. At the end of all this March Madness, the victor is going to be the favorite and #1 seeded, Kentucky Wildcats. Through the tournament, Kentucky has not had a real competition, easily winning the Southern region by scores of 81-66 against Western Kentucky, 87-71 against Iowa State,102-90 against Indiana, and 82-70 against Baylor. Kentucky is 36-2 this season and seems unbeatable. In the semi-final round, Kentucky takes on the #4 seeded Louisville from the Western region. Last time they faced Louisville on New Years Eve, Kentucky won by a score of 69-62. It looks as if this time it is going to be a repeat.

Freshman forward Anthony Davis has been a big threat for other teams. This season he has made 202 field goals and is averaging 14.3 points per game. He has been the team’s top scorer. Another key player is sophomore guard Doron Lamb. Lamb has sunk 73 three pointers this year and is averaging 13.6 points per game. If Kentucky continues to play the way that they are playing, they should be able to win it all.
