Danny Green sparks top-ranked UNC to win over Kentucky

Posted Dec 2, 2007

Danny Green came off the bench to score 20 points on a day Tyler Hansbrough made just two field goals, as top-ranked North Carolina broke open a close game in the second half to down Kentucky, 86-77, at Rupp Arena. The Wildcats bracketed Hansbrough with two and sometimes three defenders. Hansbrough did convert 10-of-12 from the charity stripe to score 14 points with 11 rebounds. (Sports Network)
