Starters:
#23 Anthony Davis - Freshman - 6'10" 220 lbs - The projected number one pick in the draft can do it all. He rebounds, he blocks shots, he can score, he can defend multiple positions, he makes free throws... Davis is averaging a double-double in the NCAA Tournament and has blocked 18 shots through the first four games.

Key Reserve:
#1 Darius Miller - Senior - 6'8" 225 lbs - One of just two seniors on Kentucky's roster, Miller has been a key reserve for the Cats for the past four years. Miller has a pair of 19 point games in the tournament, and can present a lot of matchup problems with his great size and athleticism at his position. He is ranked 118th on Chad Ford's draft board.

Coach:
John Calipari - Calipari is in his 3rd season at Kentucky and hopes to avoid getting knocked out of the Final Four for the second straight year. Calipari has won National Coach of the Year Awards in 1996, 2008 and 2009, but is still in search of his first NCAA Championship. He came the closest to one in 2008 with Memphis, but lost in the Finals to Kansas thanks to Mario Chalmers' late game heroics. However, that entire season for Memphis was later vacated by the NCAA due to academic issues.

Where I had them finishing:
Kentucky is actually my bracket's saving grace as I have them winning the whole thing, and here they are, still alive at the end.
Notes:
Michael Kidd-Gilchrist had an absolute monster of a game in Kentucky's 69-62 win over Louisville on New Year's Eve. The freshman finished with 24 points and 19 rebounds as the Wildcats absolutely dominated the Cardinals on the glass 49-28. Anthony Davis added 18 points and 6 blocks in the win.
