The nation’s eyes are on the Bluegrass this week as the Cats and Cards prepare for Friday night’s showdown in Indy. The topic is dominating the airwaves and national websites, and it’s just going to get crazier over the next few days. Here’s a roundup of what they’re saying:
CBSSports.com’s Chip Patterson:
Is John Calipari’s squad going to be able to re-open that bottle of lightning against Louisville? If so, the Wildcats’ memorable win against Wichita State could be the springboard for a second Final Four in three years. If you’re looking for X-factors in that matchup, look no further than Randle. The Wildcats big man sat out the second half of the win against Louisville because of cramps after scoring 17 points in the first half.
(Patterson goes to on to pick Louisville to win, BTW)
CBSSports.com’s Gary Parrish:
Louisville vs. Kentucky: Some scalpers in Indianapolis are about to get paid, and for two reasons. 1) They’re holding tickets to a Sweet 16 game between bitter rivals. 2) Those bitter rivals both have campuses less than 200 miles from Indy. This would be a great Final Four game, and we’re gonna get it in the Sweet 16. Excellent.
My new projected Final Four: Florida vs. Michigan State; Arizona vs. Kentucky
CBSSports.com’s Jeff Borzello, “Reseeding the field: Ranking the teams remaining for the Sweet 16″:
7. Kentucky: The Wildcats have finally turned the corner in the 2013-14 season — although it took slightly longer than expected. Coming off the win over Wichita State, Kentucky is certainly a threat to reach the Final Four. The offense is clicking.
