During an online chat with fans, Vitale was asked which team he thinks will win and he gave the edge to Kentucky: “You have to give an edge to Kentucky, because they’re playing at home. But UNC will bring in a loaded team. I have UNC one and Kentucky two. But understand the magnitude. The interest. Kentucky fans are so passionate. The bottom line is it’s really important how you peak come March. It’s a great game for the teams to play, but it’s not the end all. ”
