The guy on the left is former Auburn basketball star and current ESPN analyst Daymeon Fishback, and right now, he's the only one of ESPN's 27 college basketball experts that thinks Kentucky can still make it to the Final Four. Today, ESPN revisited its preseason picks for the NCAA Tournament, and Fishback was the only one to stick to his pick that the Cats would make it to Houston. In fact, Fishback kept all of his picks the same, including Kevin Stallings as Coach of the Year, which honestly has me a little worried that he forgot to update them altogether:

Daymeon Fishback Right now

Final Four: North Carolina, Oklahoma, Kentucky, Maryland National champion: North Carolina Player of the year: Ben Simmons, LSU Coach of the year: Kevin Stallings, Vanderbilt Before the season started

Final Four: North Carolina, Oklahoma, Kentucky, Maryland National champion: North Carolina Player of the year: Ben Simmons, LSU Coach of the year: Kevin Stallings, Vanderbilt

Regardless, it's good to see someone still has faith in the Cats...maybe. The rest of ESPN's experts are split, six picking UNC to win it all, six picking Maryland to win it all, and six picking Michigan State to win it all, further proof that with this season, who knows. [ESPN]
