UNC's speed worries Wildcats

Posted Nov 18, 2008
Kentucky coach Billy Gillispie was surprised when a reporter told him that North Carolina senior All-American Tyler Hansbrough won't play on Tuesday when the Wildcats take on the top-ranked Tar Heels. But for Gillispie, it didn't really matter. "Then they're down to four or five pro players instead of six or seven," Gillispie said. The Wildcats (0-1) head to Chapel Hill, N.C., trying to bounce back from a stunning 111-103 loss to Virginia Military Institute last Friday. (Blue Ridge Now)
