UNC-Kentucky alumni game an unfair fight

Posted Sep 13, 2015
The Wildcats were represented by nine NBA draft picks, while the Tar Heels had three former draft picks wearing the other shade of blue. One of them was 40-year-old Jerry Stackhouse, who is retired, and served as a player and coach in this exhibition. The result was predictable: Kentucky’s alumni led by as many as 21 points and ho-hummed their way to a 122-115 victory. (Louisville Courier-Journal)
