Lucas: North Carolina vs. Kentucky Rapid Reactions

Posted Dec 3, 2025
A gritty, must-have win that the Tar Heels easily could have lost. With some key late-game heroics from freshman Derek Dixon, the Tar Heels earn a 67-64 win at Kentucky. Dixon made Carolina's last two field goals. One of them was a three-pointer out of a timeout with a minute left, and the other a layup on a drive that provided the go-ahead points. (GoHeels.com)
