Seeding aside I really like the Kentucky Wildcats chances against the Buckeyes.

From an overall talent level they are probably inferior but I love the way their lineup will challenge the Buckeyes more than they have been challenged in a while (how will they respond).

Specifically I like the fact that they can sick Josh Harrelson’s big body on Jared Sullinger and that they have some very athletic wing players that should challenge Ohio State’s outside shooters. I think they will be able to do alright defensively which means the game will hinge on their ability to score the basketball.

Terrence Jones has to step up for this equation to work. If he can outscore his fellow freshman than Kentucky could win going away.

The Ohio State Buckeyes have been very impressive in their first two tournament games. The way that they dominated what some thought was an underrated George Mason team was impressive but this team has shown cracks throughout the season.

The Buckeyes employ a very short rotation which might be challenged some in this one.

My feeling is that with the big bodies Kentucky has Sullinger could be affected by fouls meaning that Dallas Lauderdale will see more action which makes them much less effective on the offensive end.

When Sullinger is out of the game this is a totally different team but the same can be said for all the great players in the tournament (Fredette, Walker etc..

These guys seem due for a close one and maybe even an upset.

Betting Trends:

Over is 7-2-1 in OHIOS last 10 overall.
OHIOS are 7-2 ATS in their last 9 games overall.
Over is 9-3 in OHIOS last 12 NCAA Tournament games.

Prediction: I am daring to be bold and predicting an upset. It plays out like this: Harrelson neutralized Sullinger, freshman point guard Knight cancels out freshman point guard Craft and Jones is the star. Simple right?

Predicted Score: Kentucky 65 – Ohio State 62
