Kentucky: The Wildcats should win the national title next Monday. They have a unique level of talent and chemistry.
They're second and 12th, respectively, in Ken Pomeroy's adjusted
offensive and defensive efficiency ratings. Their roster of NBA
prospects is anchored by Anthony Davis (six blocks against Baylor), the national player of the year in many circles.
Nothing new. But throughout the NCAA tournament, the Wildcats have
showcased their dominance and continued to separate themselves from the
rest of the field. The Wildcats have weathered every obstacle during the
NCAA tournament, even Davis' early foul trouble against IU.
Iowa State's Royce White
had a career game and it wasn't enough to help the Cyclones avoid a
16-point loss in the third round. Indiana scored 90 points and still
suffered a 12-point loss against the Wildcats. Baylor took an early
five-point lead and suddenly the Twittersphere buzzed with talk of a
potential upset. And then, the Wildcats stopped abiding by the speed
limit and outclassed the Bears the rest of the way.
You don't need a Las Vegas bookie to convince you that the Wildcats are
the favorites in New Orleans. They've lost just two games this season.
And although John Calipari's 2010 squad, led by John Wall, might have
had more overall talent, it didn't create this gap between it and the
other elite teams around the country. That team didn't even make the
Final Four.
Everything a coach would ever want on a team, Calipari has. To win title
No. 1, the former UMass, Memphis and NBA head coach just needs his
players to continue on this path. When the Wildcats execute, they're
better than every team in the country.
And that's why they should win the national title. Sometimes, it's not
as simple as talent. Weird things can happen, especially this time of
year. But the Big Blue have the advantage over every other squad in New Orleans.
Whatever its opponents do, Kentucky finds a way to top it. Few reasons
to believe that trend won't continue in the last stage of the 2011-12
college basketball season.

PRESIDENT OBAMA REACTS TO TRAYVON MARTIN INCIDENT (VIDEO)
WASHINGTON, D.C. -- For the first time since the controversy erupted on the national scene, President Barack Obama
weighed in on the killing of Trayvon Martin, calling it a tragedy,
urging cooperation among law enforcement and declaring that "some soul
searching" was needed throughout the country.
"If I had a son, he'd look like Trayvon," Obama said, underscoring how the issue affected him on a personal, and not just a political or legal, level. "I think [Trayvon's parents] are right to expect that all of us as Americans are going to take this with the seriousness it deserves, and we are going to get to the bottom of exactly what happened."
The statement by Obama came after he introduced Dartmouth President Jim Kim to be the next head of the World Bank during an appearance in the Rose Garden. He took only one question before heading back into the West Wing -- signaling that both he and his press handlers were feeling pressure, coming from black activists and others, to make a public comment on the Martin case.

MORE EARTHQUAKES! NOW IN AUSTRALIA
People living near the epicentre of Australia's biggest earthquake in 15 years have reported being shaken, but otherwise escaping unscathed.
The 6.1 earthquake struck near Ernabella, in South Australia's far north, just before 8.30pm local time (9pm AEDT) yesterday.
Ernabella, an indigenous arts hub, is home to about 500 Aboriginal people, with more living in about six communities in the surrounding region.
The remote area is just south of the border with the Northern Territory, about 317 kilometres south-west of Alice Springs, 230 kilometres south-east of Uluru and 415 kilometres north-west of Coober Pedy.
Geoscience Australia seismologist David Jepsen said people in the communities around the earthquake epicentre had reported strong shaking.
"An event like this, there are a number of Aboriginal communities around there and they have experienced strong shaking," Dr Jepsen said.
"We've heard from them, people have felt strong shaking, but we haven't heard of any damage yet, but there is that possibility."
There have been several aftershocks since the earthquake.
Yesterday's earthquake followed two quakes in the area in the past week. The first, on March 16, measured 4.3 magnitude and the second on March 20 was 3.8 magnitude.
Yesterday's quake is Australia's biggest since a quake measuring 6.3 was recorded off Collier Bay on Western Australia's far north coast in 1997.
"This (Ernabella) earthquake would have been felt in Yulara (near Uluru), only weakly in Alice Springs and maybe as far as Coober Pedy," Dr Jepsen said.
South Australia Police said no injuries or damage had been reported.
Dr Jepsen said the region's earthquakes were caused by the release of stress from the earth's crust, built up as the Indian-Australian tectonic plate moves, squeezing South Australia sideways by about 0.1 millimetre each year.
He said on average there were about 200 earthquakes of magnitude 3.0 or more in Australia each year and one earthquake above magnitude 5.5 about every two years.
The 1989 earthquake in Newcastle, New South Wales that killed 13 people was a 5.6 magnitude event and the 2011 Christchurch earthquake that killed 185 people in New Zealand was 6.3 magnitude.
Australia's largest recorded earthquake was in 1941 in Meeberrie, in central-west Western Australia, with a magnitude of 7.3, but there were no fatalities
