Printable NCAA Bracket 2012: Kentucky And Kansas Try To Take Final Step

There's only one thing we don't know about the 2012 NCAA Tournament bracket at this point: will the Kentucky Wildcats finish a dominant tournament by claiming their first national championship since 1997, or will Bill Self's Kansas Jayhawks pull an upset over a John Calipari-coached squad for the second time in five years?

You can chart both teams’ routes to the national final in our printable 2012 NCAA Tournament bracket (PDF), but Kentucky’s been by far the most impressive team. The Wildcats have four double-digit wins, and their only single-digit win came in an eight-point triumph over Louisville on Saturday, while Kansas has just one double-digit win, and has come from behind late in wins over Purdue and Ohio State.

For more on the 2012 NCAA Tournament bracket, poke around SB Nation’s NCAA Tournament hub for tons of analysis on who will make it all the way to New Orleans and the Final Four.
