Myron Medcalf takes a look at tonight’s Sweet Sixteen games for ESPN. Here’s a look at what he has to say about the rematch between UK and IU.
[I][COLOR=#333333][FONT=verdana]…against Kentucky, it’s always a game of “anything you can do I can do better.” The Wildcats have the No. 2 offense in Pomeroy’s efficiency ratings. They’re ninth in defensive efficiency. [/FONT][/COLOR]
[COLOR=#333333][FONT=verdana]They have [/FONT][/COLOR][URL=”http://sports.espn.go.com/mens-college-basketball/player/_/id/56353/anthony-davis”]Anthony Davis[/URL][COLOR=#333333][FONT=verdana] (14.3 ppg, 10.1 rpg and 4.6 bpg), too. [/FONT][/COLOR]
[COLOR=#333333][FONT=verdana]After that Indiana loss, the Wildcats stopped all arguments about the best team in America. They separated themselves from the field and entered the NCAA tournament as the favorites to win it all. [/FONT][/COLOR]

[COLOR=#333333][FONT=verdana]In this matchup, look for the Hoosiers to attack Davis again — he picked up early fouls in the first game — and hoist 3s early to stretch Kentucky’s defense. Look for the Wildcats to burst up the floor off misses and turn this into an up-and-down affair. [/FONT][/COLOR]
[/I]
I look for Jones and MKG (and dare I say Teague) to attack the paint hard tonight and make it hard for the Hoosier front court to focus on Davis.
