Prognostication at its most ambivilent.

Michigan is biggest beneficiary of Indiana's loss | Michigan Wolverines | Detroit Free Press | freep.com

During the latter days of last year's season I predicted that Indiana would be the pre-season number one pick and I was right.  I expected them to breeze through the season with very few losses and march on to the championship without anyone but Louisville to challenge them.  Got that wrong.

Indiana has suffered several unexplainable losses this year.  If they had played like that against Kentucky last year UK would have blown them out.  And who can explain Louisville?  But both of these coaches are known for having their teams ready at tournament time but now Florida and Duke are on the move.  A week ago I said that Florida looked good enough to go the distance but this week I'm going to have to wait to see if Duke continues to look  as good as they did with the return of Kelly to the linup.  Who am I trying to kid?  There are probably ten teams out there that could make a run at the title buy UK is not one of them this year.  How the mighty have fallen and we expected it to be a reloading year.
