Screen Shot 2015-03-24 at 12.30.04 PM At the very least, ESPN's 30-minute "How to Beat Kentucky" special gave me plenty of great little charts to share with you. While each analyst said they believe Kentucky will win the Tournament, according to ESPN's Basketball Power Index (BPI), Wisconsin has the best shot at knocking the Cats off, at 31%, followed by Arizona at 29%, Gonzaga at 25%, Duke at 19%, and Utah at 12%. What about West Virginia? The BPI is almost certain the Cats will handle the Mountaineers, giving Kentucky a 93% chance of reaching the Elite Eight. Kentucky's odds of making the Championship game? Forty-nine percent. Sheesh. Screen Shot 2015-03-24 at 12.26.57 PM I can't wait to see what Bob Huggins and John Calipari have to say about this tomorrow.
