Know These Things Before Filling Out Your Brackets - Whip those brackets out—NCAA Tournament time is here. The 2015 NCAA Tournament officially tips off Tuesday night with the first four of the first round ready for action. On paper, this looks and feels to be one of the better tourneys that we've seen in a while. But before you let the ink dry of your field of 68, peep BET.com's storylines to follow during the Tournament.

Watching to See if Kentucky Can Go Undefeated - All eyes will be on the Kentucky Wildcats to see if they could run the table and pull off the first undefeated season since 1976. No pressure, fellas. With players such as Karl-Anthony Towns and Aaron Harrison, it's certainly possible. Las Vegas sportsbooks already have the Wildcats as even money to be cutting down the nets come the night of April 6th. We can't say we disagree either. Who's going to stop them? If there's such a thing as a team of destiny, Kentucky is it. Six more victories for that elusive 40-0 record.(Photo: Joe Robbins/Getty Images)

Biggest Threat to Kentucky—Notre Dame? - If there's one team to deny Kentucky's bid for an undefeated season and national title victory, it just might be No. 3 Notre Dame. Why? Well, they have the kinds of shooters who can spread the floor and get Kentucky's bigs out the paint. The only problem with the Fighting Irish is they have a knack to fall in love with their jumpers. Still, with a heady guard like Jerian Grant, who averaged 16.8 points per game, they have a shot. Outside shot...but still a chance to topple Kentucky in the final of the Midwest bracket. If Kentucky makes it to the Final Four, Wisconsin definitely has a legit chance to knock them out as well. That'd be a revenge game for Wisconsin, which lost to Kentucky in last year's Final Four.

This Year's Cinderella Team - Scanning the field of 68 teams, we like Buffalo's chances of possibly becoming this year's Cinderella team during the NCAA Tournament. They actually led Kentucky at halftime of their game back in November, before the Wildcats simply overpowered them. The Bulls are also coached well, led by former Duke star Bobby Hurley, and they have a 6-7 forward in Justin Moss (17.7 points, 9.3 rebounds per game) that's a force to be reckoned with. Why not them? No. 13 Buffalo will face fifth-seeded West Virginia on Friday night. (Photo: CSM/Landov)

Kevin Ware Back in The Tournament - Can't knock Kevin Ware's hustle and determination. After suffering a gruesome leg fracture in the 2013 NCAA Tournament the junior guard poured in 18 points to help his new Georgia State squad via a win over Georgia Southern on Sunday. Oddly enough, Georgia State head coach Ron Hunter tore his right Achilles tendon during the celebration. The No. 14 Panthers will face No. 3 Baylor on Thursday night. We'll be rooting for Kevin Ware. Props young fella! (Photo: Matthew Holst/Getty Images)
