Predictions Predictions


I know its early December, but seeing the CATS dominate in the national limelight on a neutral court only got me about as excited as... TBone's Filly of the Day! Props to YDF'er Lew III and the other countless UK fans traveling to the Big Apple. It was awesome to see more blue n white then the the UConn pack who obviously had a much shorter trip.

Anyways I thought it would be interesting to hear everyone's take on an early Final Four Prediction. I've unfortunately been hindered on watching much college basketball this season, but have noticed a few things that are apparent this year. First off has to be streaks. UK being the prime example evident by.... well pretty much every game this year. Young teams = streakiness. Then there are streaks from an entire conference. Two conferences that have exemplified this are the Big Ten and the Pac-10. One conference is up and down each and every night, while the other is just streaky bad altogether. I'm sure you can figure the latter out pretty easily.

When it comes down to it, it seems like the best team in the country (NO not UK.... yet) is the team getting the least attention. Ultimately the Kansas Jayhawks right now are the best, most experienced team in the country and are definitely the front runners to win it all in my opinion. I would have the Cats joining them in Indy, as the surrounding cast will improve and become less reliant on a certain Mr. Wall aka Blue Jesus. A team that would rival Kentucky's speed and strength down low is Syracuse. That would be one helluva of a national championship game. And finally my dark horse would be Purdue. If they stay healthy their defense might be able to carry them all the way to a virtual home court semifinal.

My 4: UK, KU, Purdue, and Syracuse.

Lets hear yours Fixers
