Longtime NBA star Reggie Miller thinks it will take something miraculous to beat the undefeated Kentucky Wildcats in the NCAA Tournament.
In fact, Miller says it will “take almost an act of God” to beat the Cats.
Here is an excerpt of his comments from the Herald-Leader:
“You’ve got to play out of your mind,” the former UCLA and NBA star said, “and hope that on that particular day — on that magical Monday — they are not at their best.”
The reference to “magical Monday” suggested that Miller presumed that Kentucky will advance to the NCAA Tournament championship game.
Even that combination of opponent excelling and UK at less than full efficiency might not be enough, said Miller, who spoke on a teleconference sponsored by the networks televising the NCAA Tournament, Turner Sports and CBS.
“And still then, it’s going to take almost an act of God,” he said. “That’s how strongly I feel about Kentucky running the table here.
“But can it be done in a one-and-done situation? Absolutely. But you can have the field. I’m taking Kentucky.”
