Kentucky vs. Louisville
Blue vs Red, Calipari vs Pitino, David vs Goliath. This matchup comes as a surprise to everyone as Louisville have ridden their Big East Tournament Championship run all the way to the Final Four, I bet good ole Rick didn't even see this coming. For this game to be even close, Louisville are gonna have to play their fuckin socks off and hope that Kentucky don't show up for the first half. One thing Louisville does have going for them is Pitino's tournament experience and they do run deeper than the Wildcats. Russ Smith will need to replicate his late game heroics from against Florida, and Gorgui Dieng is going to have to find some way to slow Anthony Davis down, whether it be legal or not is a different issue all together. With all that said, this Kentucky team is far and away Cailpari's best team yet, and they not only dominate on offense but on defense too where Davis, and Kidd-Gilchrist anchor a unit that was tenth in the country in defensive efficiency. I see the Wildcats being too much for Louisville to handle with all their weapons on offense, and I also see a big game from Terrence Jones. The lefty sophomore has been playing better of late and he should look to capitalize on a likely matchup with Kyle Kuric. Wildcats by 15.
Ohio State vs Kansas to come tommorow.
