Hey Jay I am a big fan of yours you are my favorite analyst in College hoops!! If Syracuse and Kentucky play in the Championship game in your opinion who would win and could you please explain your reason for who you would pick in this game?

It would be a toss up, but I would favor Syracuse because of the experience the Orange would have, and the unique defense Syracuse plays. As an example, I thought UK was the better team when the Cats played West Virginia in 2010, but I picked WVU to win because it was an older team that played a different style. I thought UK's freshmen would have a tough time adjusting to it for just one game. I feel the same way about Syracuse and UK this year. Syracuse does not rebound the ball as well as they need to, and does not shoot as many free throws as their opponents in the Big East. But, the Orange does a great job of forcing turnovers and running off of them. I think UK would have a tough time with that zone because of that, and would suffer against it because UK is not a great shooting team. But UK could certainly win (that team can beat anybody this year) and I think it would be a GREAT game!!
