Kentucky leads the nation in offensive efficiency and are matched against a not-so-great Indiana defense, ranked 69th. That is not horrid, but unless you consider they are a small underdog to the top offense. The Wildcats weakness is on defense, yet they are still nine spots higher than the Hoosiers. They held Stonbrook to 26.3 percent shooting in the opening round, a sign again that the defense is solidifying.

John Calipari with his one-and-done philosophy has hit team gelling at the perfect time. Tyler Ulis is the prime-time player who is capable of leading this team over anyone.
