UK's road to the title
First round: Indiana-Purdue Indianapolis (20-13): Jaguars coach Ron Hunter has admitted he's just happy to be here.
Second round: Oregon (23-9): The Ducks saved their season by winning the Pac-10 Tournament. But it might be more fun in this round to see UK play Utah again.
Sweet 16: Dayton (24-5): The Flyers appear ready to claim their first NCAA Tournament victory (or two) since 1984.
Elite eight: Pittsburgh (26-4): The Wildcats have lost their last two meetings with the Panthers.
Semifinals: Arizona (25-3): This would be the matchup basketball fans can't dare miss. UK could atone for its overtime loss to Arizona in the 1997 NCAA finals.
Final: Texas (22-6): This could also conceivably be Oklahoma (24-6), but either way UK could face a Big 12 team for the title.
