Notebook: UNC-UK prep for blue-blood battle

Posted Dec 14, 2013
Kentucky super sophomore Willie Cauley-Stein has 34 blocks this season — two fewer than UNC’s 36. Cauley-Stein creates problems for shooters with his long reach and spot-on swatting, and he’s also a physical player. Sophomore forward Brice Johnson will be one of UNC’s big men faced with the task of getting around Cauley-Stein. (Daily Tar Heel)
