Message: [QUOTE="IthacaMatt, post: 2960294, member: 405"] Purdue is my wildcard. I kind of like Matt Painter. Kentucky have won 17 of their last 20 games, and 2 of the losses were at Tennessee and to Tennessee by 4 in the SEC Championship game. They have a nice blend of athleticism and size. Four guys score in double figures. They shoot over 36% from three as a team, and they don't turn the ball over very much. They don't have the kind of rim protector that they've had over the years, but they are a very good team. As much as I hate to admit it, Calipari is a pretty good game coach, whereas Rick Barnes is not - plus Tennessee got a tough draw in the South - probably Cinci in the 2nd round, either Villanova or Purdue in the Sweet 16, and Virginia in the Regional Final if they don't mess themselves again.
