The biggest of the big boys is overall No. 1 seed Ken- tucky, which is trying to be- come the first team since In- diana in 1976 to cap a per- fect season with a national title. The Wildcats open against Hampton or Man- hattan, then would face the winner of Cincinnati-Pur- due. But the road to 40-0 won't be easy — Notre Dame and Kansas are among the schools in the Midwest Re- gion. "Regardless if we were perfect or not, it's still we're only guaranteed one game," Kentucky forward Wil- lie Cauley-Stein said. "So it's really the slate is clean, whether we're 34-0 or got five losses. From here on out, you're 0-0." The Badgers earned the top seed in the West, open- ing against Coastal Carolina in a region that includes No. 2 seed Arizona. Villanova is tops in the East, and Duke tops in the South. STARPOWER Kentucky has a handful of players who could be headed to the NBA, and the Blue Devils' Jahlil Okafor is the potential No. 1 pick. Jerian Grant of Notre Dame proved that seniors can still make headlines in an era of one-and-done pros- pects, while many believe Wisconsin's Frank Kamin- sky deserves the national player of the year award. CINDERELLA WATCH Want some off-the-radar players to watch? Try someone from Drew's own team, Valpara- iso, such as 6-foot-10 Jamai- can center Vashil Fernan- dez or high-scoring forward Alex Peters. Tyler Harvey of Eastern Washington led the nation in scoring, while Ste- phen F. Austin's Jacob Parker is one of the best 3-point shooters in the country. How about a couple of teams that could make a run? Duke icon Bobby Hur- ley has coached Buffalo to a No. 12 seed opposite West Virginia in the Midwest re- gion, and everyone knows the history of the 12-5 upset. Harvard, the No. 13 seed in the West, has been to four straight NCAAs and could make fourth-seeded North Carolina uncomfortable.
