Kentucky can't keep up with talented Heels

Posted Nov 19, 2008
UNC needed a little pick-me-up. Kentucky supplied it. The Tar Heels' 77-58 whipping of Kentucky Tuesday night contained basically no drama but bulged with YouTube-worthy plays executed by those in baby blue. It was 25-6, North Carolina, within the first 8 minutes and the Tar Heels never led by less than 11 after that. That left ESPN with a lot of time to pretend Kentucky could come back and Tar Heels fans with a couple of hours to enjoy themselves. (Raleigh News & Observer)
