2012 NCAA Sweet 16 Predictions
By Ricky Widmer
South Region
#1 Kentucky over #4 Indiana
This is my must see game of the Sweet 16. In my mind, this Sweet 16 game will have the most action and has the most raw talent in it. Kentucky is a team full of talent. Kentucky has the talent to score, assist, and rebound. In my mind, the only raw talent on Indiana is Cody Zeller. I believe that Indiana will go down fighting, but the combination of talent that Kentucky will throw at Indiana will be too much for them and Cody Zeller to handle. The key to this game will be the offensive boards and Kentucky might dominate in that stat.
#3 Baylor over #10 Xavier
To me, Xavier should not even be playing in this game. In my opinion, Duke or Notre Dame should be in this game, but that is the beauty and curse of March Madness. Baylor had a breakout game against Colorado in the Third Round. Brady Heslip is feeling it right now. I expect Brady Heslip to basically put the team on his back and carry Baylor to the Elite Eight. Also, if Baylor can hold Carlon Brown to under thirteen points, then they can hold any top player to a limited role.
