Rapid Reaction: UNLV 90, UNC 80

Posted Nov 27, 2011
That No.1 vs. No. 2 matchup that everyone was looking forward to with Kentucky at Rupp Arena next Saturday? It’s not going to happen. The Tar Heels, now 5-1, will surely lose their top ranking – but more important is how they recover, not from just losing – but being outplayed in mostly every facet of the game. UNLV, under first-year coach Dave Rice, remains undefeated at 7-0, and the "Re-bels!" chant will linger for quite a while. (ESPN.com)
