I tell you what, this match up should be special.  As a UK fan, I think I have more faith than many.  I just think UK is playing really well right now and their defense continues to get better.

Yes, Ohio State has played some good competition, but did that competition have the talent of UK’s 5 starters? I seriously doubt any team in the nation has 5 starters as good as UK at this point.  Jones, Knight, Lamb, Miller, Harrelson, and Liggins are all a load and I consider all of them starters even though it’s six players.

All of those guys can score the ball well and they are not all going to have an off night on the same night.  It’s just a matter of giving the ball to the guy who is hot.

On defense, I think UK’s length on the outside should give Ohio State some problems.  Harrelson can hold his own against Sullinger.  Even if Sullinger plays well, I think Harrelson can slow him just enough to get the win.  It will be a heavy weight fight down low, that’s for sure.

Brandon Knight is shining below the bright lights.  I have to think he is eager to shine during this game.  He will play well and I believe he will be draining it from 3 point range during this game.

I’m really excited about this game because if UK wins this game, they have a legitimate shot at the NCAA championship game.

Nobody would have picked UK to go to the Final Four, but it’s definitely within reach for the Cats.  They can get there with a full team effort and an intelligent game by the guys on the court.

I have no doubt that Coach Calipari can coach just as well as Thad Matta.  Coach Cal will give the Cats a chance to win this game, but will the players live up to the coach’s expectations?

Terrence Jones, wake up! This is your chance to shine and prove to the nation you are a lottery pick!

Kentucky vs. Ohio State in the Sweet 16 is going to be one to remember my friends…
