No. 16 UNC Basketball Looks to Rebound at Rupp Arena Against No. 19 Kentucky

Posted Dec 2, 2025
Coming off its loss to Michigan State on Thanksgiving, UNC doesn't have the luxury of an easy game to get back in the win column. That's not to say the No. 16 Tar Heels can't beat No. 19 Kentucky. They can. But it's going to be a battle Tuesday, when UNC takes on the Wildcats at 9:30 p.m. inside Rupp Arena as part of the ACC/SEC Challenge on ESPN. (TarHeel247)
