Good teams have tried various ways to beat Kentucky. The game plans have included getting physical with them, trying to force the unbeaten Wildcats to take jump shots, double-teaming post players, playing up-tempo so Kentucky can't set its defense, pressing them.

These tactics and others have worked to some extent in box scores, just not on the scoreboard.

No matter who Kentucky plays or how well they play, the consensus seems to be if the Wildcats play to their potential, they won't lose.

That makes Kentucky's toughest opponent, well, Kentucky.

Fifth-seeded West Virginia might be Kentucky's stiffest challenge so far, with the Mountaineers expected to try and use their defensive pressure and physicality to derail the Wildcats (36-0) in Thursday night's NCAA Tournament regional semifinal in Cleveland.
