As the tournament gets underway, you all probably have your favorites picked out, which is an absolute must at this point, especially if you are filling out a bracket. The good news for those of you picking a #1 or #2 seed to go all the way and win a National Championship is that you are not likely to start sweating it too much until after the first couple of rounds. The opening round in particular is usually a very safe passage for the top teams, which this year, as in many years past, includes the Kentucky Wildcats. They are in s the #2 seed in the South Region, and you have to believe that they will have a rather comfortable time of things in their opening round game. They will be going up against the #15 ranked Northern Kentucky Norse, and will be coming into this game as a 20-point NCAA basketball betting odds favorite. The biggest question here seems to be whether they will be able to cover that rather lofty number.
