    I'm thinking ND too at 25-1 odds, good 3 point shooting team (needed to have a shot vs Kentucky) and defense.

    I really like Notre Dame too, they've made me a lot of money this year, and I wish I could back this pick but I can't. For someone to beat Kentucky they will have to be able to shoot the lights out from behind the line, which Notre Dame will do. The Irish just aren't big enough, the 6'5 Pat Connaughton is by far their best rebounder, and I just think Kentucky will get way too many offensive rebounds for the Irish to keep it very close. I hope I'm wrong though!

    LoL, you do realize Mike Brey has had good ND teams before and they have always choked, GL with those bets after they get knocked out early.

    As for as Kentucky goes, there are probably only a few teams that can beat them. I think ND and Iowa State can spread them out and give them a game. The way to beat Kentucky is to get lucky and hit a lot of 3's, ND and ISU probably the two best teams at that.

    ND did beat an undefeated Virginia team. They also beat Duke. So they have won a few big games. They are 1 of 3 or 4 teams who have the best shot. But, I would not bet against Kentucky. Unless they have a real bad night, they run the table

    ND is a special team, look for them to make a strong run and if they are shooting the ball lights out against kentucky... any thing can happen

    Tough part of my bracket, sweet 16, ND vs Wichita. Two very contrasting styles, i'm very high on both teams.
