Posted Dec 5, 2010
This win was about one very simple thing. It was about the Tar Heels exploiting their advantage in the paint—both size and depth—against a very talented, but guard-heavy Kentucky squad. “They play like two big men—(Terrence) Jones is inside-out—and we tried to get them in foul trouble, tried to go at them and that’s what we did,” sophomore forward John Henson said. “That worked out for us.” (Sporting News)
