No. 5 Indiana Hoosiers vs No. 4 Kentucky Wildcats
The Indiana Hoosiers are gearing up for their most important game of the season and it’s one in which no one is giving them much of a chance to win. Tom Crean has turned the Hoosiers around in just one season. It’s hard to think Indiana fans were calling for his job a season ago and now they’re praising him after a 25-7 season.

Yogi Ferrell is the team’s clear leader and the Hoosiers wouldn’t be in the position they are at the moment without his guidance and solid play. The Big Ten’s runner-up for player of the year is averaging 17.1 points and 5.7 assists per game while shooting over 40 percent from downtown. Can you believe they’ve done this without James Blackmon?
If you’re looking for one of those dark-horse candidates to win the national title, look no further than the Kentucky Wildcats. Can you ever really call Kentucky a dark-horse if they’re consistently bringing in the top recruiting classes and are more often than not ranked in the top five to start the year, though?
Jamal Murray has been a godsend as a true freshman, leading the team with 20.1 points per game to go along with 5.1 rebounds. Tyler Ulis has been impressive this season as well, averaging 17 points and 7.1 assists per contest. This roster is absolutely loaded with talent, but if the Wildcats are going to make a run, it’ll be up to Ulis and Murray.
