At the start of the Tourney I had Wisconsin as probably the second most likely team to win the tournament if UK stumbled. Wisky hasn't looked as sharp as I had hoped, not to mention they are likely going to have to beat UNC, Arizona, UK, and Duke to win it all. That is a pretty difficult stretch of games they might have.

Duke has looked pretty good, and should have an easier path. Not sure if I think Duke is really better than Wisky, but as of right now, I'd probably slide them into the 2nd most likely to win the tournament spot.
 
I think Wisconsin and Arizona are the most likely to beat Kentucky in a matchup. It's wide open if someone eliminates Kentucky, though. There are nine to ten teams that could go on a run. I'd only eliminate Xavier, UCLA, NC State and Utah from contention if someone could beat Kentucky. It's all about matchups at that point.
 
I think it all depends on the Arizona/Wisconsin winner. I think Arizona beats Kentucky, Kentucky beats Wisconsin, Wisconsin beats Arizona based on the match ups.

Really not sure about that.

Arizona goes about 7 deep. Kentucky goes 10 deep.

Kentucky also has the best defense in the country, and Arizona REALLY struggles to score a lot of the time.

As well, Kentucky has an overwhelming size advantage on Arizona, and is a decent bit more talented.

Don't think that Arizona could come within single digits.
 
Oklahoma...who else?

I was in Las Vegas in October and put $10 on OU to win the NC. I think we were 40-1 at the time.
 
Kentucky's back up players might be a good choice. :ez-laugh:

Seriously, I think OU is as good as any team left in the tournament not named Kentucky. That is, providing our players bring their "A" game for the remainder of the tourney.
