A Man's Game: No. 1 Kentucky rips No. 21 Tar Heels

Posted Dec 13, 2014
Marcus Paige's missing 3-pointer has been found. It was here in Rupp Arena. Paige located it Saturday in the second half, knocking down a game-high four 3s, but No. 1 Kentucky was sharper downtown in the first half and too strong down low during the final 20 minutes. The Wildcats beat No. 21 UNC 84-70. “It was a man’s game out there today,” UNC coach Roy Williams said. (Durham Herald-Sun)
