Bill Self compared the Kentucky team Kansas faced this week to Florida from 06-07 and Memphis of 07-08. Self thinks they may have better raw talent than the North Carolina team they faced in the Final Four.

“We’ve played two teams that would rival them from a talent standpoint — one would be Memphis, and one would be Florida,” Self said Wednesday.

Self believes Kentucky has four potential lottery picks in Anthony Davis, Terrence Jones, Marquis Teague and Michael Kidd-Gilchrist.

“If they keep getting better, they have a chance to be the best team in the country,” Self added. “From a raw-talent standpoint, even the Carolina team we faced in the Final Four with (Ty) Lawson, (Wayne) Ellington, (Tyler) Hansbrough and Danny Green ... this Kentucky team may even be superior to that. That’s some hard-rocking dudes. They have a real shot (at 2012 national title).”
