You're right to focus on Sheppard and Miller as the keys to tonight's game. If Miller plays as he did against Arizona and UNC, Utah will be very tough to beat. If Sheppard has a hot hand, that will open up the inside for Kentucky. Utah plays great perimeter defense and can bang inside when they have to. Kentucky's depth is the equalizer. I look for Kentucky to win a close game with a surge at the end. I hope their fans appreciate what Ky. has accomplished this year. I was down there in February when they lost to Mississippi and the writers and fans were brutal ("The worst 22-3 team ever" is one quote that stuck with me). This years tournament will go down as the best ever, regardless of tonight's result.

Watch how Utah handles the Kentucky play in which the shooter gets 4 screens for a 3-pointer at the top of the key. Also, look for Kentucky to break out some new defensive looks, perhaps full-court zone traps.
