I am as big fan of UK as they come but I just don't see us beating UNC cheaters at this time. We just don't look like we belong in the same gym with them. Hope I am wrong and we can win.

UNC just beat Gonzaga who beat Duke, who beat us by 34. That said, I look for a close game. I just don't have faith in these guys and Cal at present...with the fall in recruiting and losing to a mediocre Seton Hall team and Duke by 34...we have lost it a bit of late. Winning this game would bring a lot of fans back, including me, to believing this team is improving. The Seton Hall lost is going to hurt at seeding time though...bad loss.
Sports is not transitive. My sarcasm didn't show through my posting
Honestly, we overrate these December noncon games. Win or lose, this one game is meaningless in the big picture.
Keep getting better, stay healthy, and try to peak in March/April.
I don't see how our resume is so awful and UNC's is impressive. They have a better win, for sure, in Gonzaga.. but who else? They still lost to Michigan and Texas. UCLA? Meh, no longer a top40 team.
I think UNC will still have the egde, but not by much. And although it's a small sample size, Kentucky looks to be better off with out Green.
They have 2 top 50 KenPom wins in Gonzaga and UCLA.
Our best win is against #99 UNC-G.
I wouldn't call their resume impressive, but ours needs a major boost.
We can beat North Carolina. Will take our absolute best effort up to this point, obviously. We desperately need a big win. Definitely need a solid showing. Another solid loss and I don't know if our teams' psyche can overcome it big picture.
So what is our best win?
Remember in the bahamas when we were supposed to literally get punched in the mouth by the physical team in pink (same team that went out and smacked Michigan a week later)? I think we dominate the cheaters just like we did that team. Time to put it together and kick some ass.....
UK has lost to Duke by 34. Duke lost to Gonzaga and UNC beat Gonzaga. See how the transitive properties of sports work.
I still believe UK will play tough and come out with a win.
This.Just play good, hard, sound defense and slow the tempo. UNC doesn’t thrive in a half court game. Gonzaga didn’t bother to show up yesterday and played matador defense making UNC appear like the Lakers from the 80’s. This game is winnable.
Just curious, but when is the last time we beat another top program? UCLA a couple of years ago?We can try and kid ourselves all we want, but it’s an important game Saturday. Not just because it would be a resume building win, but, I for one, am starting to get a little embarrassed by losing to the other Bluebloods of late.

Didn't we beat UCLA in the tournament a few months later after they had beaten us at Rupp early in the season?UNC when Monk scored 40+.
March if Tenn is a top program?Just curious, but when is the last time we beat another top program? UCLA a couple of years ago?
Sure did. Fox had 39 I believe. Man, what a backcourt that was. Jeez.Didn't we beat UCLA in the tournament a few months later after they had beaten us at Rupp early in the season?
