Intense game. Hard fought by both teams. And why Kentucky won the game.
1. Rebounding. 18 offensive for UK and only six for UNC. Won the battle by 10 boards overall. It is unc's Achilles heel this year. The offensive rebounding Edge created 15 additional points whereas UNC only got six points off there orbs. And for the game UK had 15 more shot attempts. Rebounding was a big part of the difference.
2. The kittens. Freshmen scored 62 points. For the most part they were solid the entire game but most importantly they did not buckle at crunch time.
3. The guys have a refuse to lose mentality and they have the skill to overcome the jitters. They did not fold.
4. A game to be remembered for a long while and it could be the springboard for more greatness in the coming days. Looking over the remainder of our schedule I don't see a team that we cannot beat.
