Elite Eight preview: Kentucky vs. UNC

Posted Mar 27, 2011
Kentucky and North Carolina -- two of the most storied programs in history, the aristocracy of basketball that rank first and third in the all-time win column -- meet with a berth in the Final Four on the line. UNC last made it to the final weekend in 2009, when Tyler Hansbrough took the Tar Heels to the national championship. In between, though, UNC had a very un-UNC-like year, missing the NCAA tournament and settling for a run in the NIT. (ESPN.com)
