UNC can’t match Kentucky’s physicality or make enough plays at the end

Posted Dec 16, 2023
Cormac Ryan found his shot in Atlanta, but Armando Bacot could barely get off any shots against No. 14 Kentucky’s tall, physical lineup that dominated the boards. Even with Bacot neutralized most of the game, UNC challenged Kentucky until the end but couldn’t get enough stops or plays in the final minutes as the Wildcats held on for an 87-83 victory.
