First of all, A LOT has to happen before this matchup can become a reality. My hunch is, Kentucky won't even get that far.
 
The year Syracuse won their Championship, Kentucky had won something like 16 games in a row going into the NCAA Tourney. They were the odds on favorite to win it all.
 
Secondly, they might be the most talented team in the field, but they are negligibly so against this Syracuse team, & Young talent does not necessarily mean more effective talent. In fact, it is the RULE that freshman talent will not beat out talent plus development & experience. 
 
Syracuse is close enough in talent & has more overall depth, which could make a difference. Then, you have to consider the physical development advantage of the CUSE. They have more upperclassmen who will manhandle the Kentucky players. 
 
Many of you might mock my assertions, accusing me of a warped sense of bias, but sitting back & looking objectively, you cannot ignore these time tested concepts that ring true...
