re: What non tournament favorite has impressed you the most?

If West Virginia can use their depth and pressure I think they can beat Kentucky and go deep. Kentucky hasn't faced a team that plays like them and it might throw them a loop.

They're going to absolutely destroy West Virginia down low.

Plus, Kentucky is big and strong. And they have tall guys who can pass and catch over the top of the press.

And finally, West Virginia gives up a lot of 2-on-1s and 3-on-1s on the back end of their press. It's just the nature of their defense. Maryland didn't finish these opportunities very well, and WVU was able to get some chase-down blocks.

That won't happen to Kentucky. They'll have a big on the back end waiting for a lob/easy dunks.

Kentucky might struggle a bit early, but they'll roll to a 15-20 point win.
