Call me crazy but I think its all on the zone and not playing a team that is familiar with it or that gets crazy hot from 3.
 
Also Melo's health is imperative IMO. 
 
Our offense struggled without him as much as our defense,
 
I would take this team, where 6 guys can get hot and score 15 plus points,  (Joseph, Triche, Scoop, Southerland, Waiters, CJ) I mean does a 15 pt game from either of those guys shock you? how many other teams have 6 legit threats to score without even mentioning Melo's easy dunks and a few obligatory put-backs from Baye or X-mas? having 7 guys who can drop 10 on you any given night with 2 or 3 that can do 20+ is pretty unique and devastating IMO.
 
It keeps a cold shooting night from one or two key players from equaling an early exit in the tournament, which is pivotal to say the least.
 
But if a young talented team like Kentucky has to face a 2-3 zone that can eliminate their inside presence and put pressure on the wings, can't a few turnovers open the floodgates for us? The ability of this team to go on dominating runs is so underrated, I mean how many games have been 5 point or so games with five or six minutes left in the first half and before you know it its halftime and you are up 20? that can demoralize a young team.
