UNC Basketball vs. Kentucky: Scouting report and prediction

Posted Dec 15, 2023
UNC basketball returns to the court Saturday when the No. 9 Tar Heels and No. 14 Kentucky play at the CBS Sports Classic in Atlanta. Prediction: UNC 84, Kentucky 82. It might not reach the level of the 2016 game — a 103-100 Kentucky win — but it won’t lack offense. UNC’s big-game experience this season should give the Tar Heels the upper hand.
