Heels Dismiss Wildcats Early
Posted Nov 19, 2008
North Carolina didn’t look like the top-ranked team in the country on Tuesday night, but the Tar Heels played well enough in overcoming the absence of starters Tyler Hansbrough and Marcus Ginyard to send Kentucky back to Lexington with a 77-58 defeat. North Carolina (2-0) exploded out to a 15-2 lead before the first media timeout, setting a frenetic pace with defensive intensity in forcing six turnovers and seven missed shots in the opening 5:04 of play.
