NC -9
ken -1

kentucky mich st at 1 is a pk em and for all the drama and upsets so far in the tournament this deep its about form as much as anything. With this in mind i see Kentucky winning this game, their wins over cinn and utah were impressive, and while mich's win over duke was a mild upset they showed me nothing i hadn't expected and so isn't any more impressive than kentucky's wins. I see two evenly matched teams. Mich's big man Davis more experienced and playing big right now, but Morris is capable of a big game and over the yr not that much between them. Both teams have strenght up front with Anderson and Ager for mich and Hayes and Azabuike for Kentucky, and G's also pretty much a wash with veterans Brown and Sparks the shooters and Neitzel and Rondo providing the flash.

What it comes down to is who's going to step up...and the guy i see as most likely to do that is Hayes...he is the biggest money guy in this game and the deciding edge. Hayes is a bucket and thats the margin.

NC...i'll lay the points. Wisconsin's only chance is to slow it down to a crawl and be perfect with their shot selection. Anything less than perfect and they go down huge. NC can smell it, and after the Villanova game they wont be denied by looking past wisky to next round.
