2. NCAA Tourney elimination

Here’s my prediction: The Kentucky basketball team will be eliminated in the NCAA Tournament by a team with a very short, quick guard. Just like Chris Chiazzo tonight or LSU’s Tremont Waters, Kentucky just cannot contain quick guards that can drive and shoot.

Quade Green struggles to guard, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander isn’t quick enough laterally and UK’s help defense is weak. Mark my words, UK will be eliminated in March by a team that has a short, quick guard that goes for more than 25 points.
