I would go with either Arizona or Wisconsin, but since those 2 would play each other if the seeds held, the odds decrease dramatically.

I don't think Kansas or Notre Dame, from Kentucky's bracket, has quiet enough (although I like ND chances much more than Kansas').

This leads me to the other side of the bracket. Gonzaga is a unknown for me, so I eliminated them. I have heard several pundits like Duke's chances, but I am not choosing them simply because I do not want to see them do it (very scientific!).

That leaves Virginia or Villanova. I've not seen Virginia play. I have, however, seen Villanova in person, and I think they may be undervalued. The big question with them is whether their record is a result of a strong, but not dominate, Big East Conference. Again, several 'experts' seem to believe the Big East is overvalued, and if that is the case, then perhaps so to is Villanova. With all that said, since I am a Big East guy, I am going with Villanova to pull the upset in the finals. Feel free to laugh.

I think Maryland could take down Kentucky before anyone else gets a chance to. Maryland has really impressed me this season.

Also, Robert Morris over Duke. I think it happens.

I'm only a little bit crazy.

Notre Dame. If they shoot lights out like they did in the ACC tournament they can do it.

Sorry ppk I think you're a little crazy. MD is going to struggle to beat Valpo. They have no bigs at all and if Dez can't score in the 20's they lose. I do love Melo as their PG.  Again MD doesn't have the bigs to compete with Kentucky and MD can't stop turning the ball over. Way to many turnovers per game. I think it's something around 18 a game.

Call me crazy, but I think there's a chance Cincinnati could take down Kentucky in the 2nd round.

Kentucky played one of its worst games of the year, had Hampton down by 35 and the final was down by 24.

Sure, if Kentucky plays poorly then Cincy (or anyone, for that matter) could beat them.  If Kentucky plays normally, they win by 15-20.  If they play well, they win by 30.

On the other hand, they WERE playing Hampton, so drawing conclusions from it may be premature.

Where is the NOBODY answer?

I think West Virginia is a dangerous team for Kentucky. I was going to submit my answer before the tourney, but didn't want to look like a fool if they lost in the 1st round.
