North Carolina outrebounded the Kentucky Wildcats 41-30, pulling down 52.6% of its misses with a season-high 20 offensive rebounds that translated to a season-high 22 second-chance points.

"I am so thankful for Tar Heel Times. It has been my more than once a day read for years. When I was living in Africa for most of 8 years it kept me connected to UNC sports. Now that I have returned to the states, I find I am not checking ESPN or Fox Sports on a regular basis, like I do with Tar Heel Times. I guess that tells me that outside of Carolina sports everything else is just second fiddle. Thanks for the enjoyment you have given me over these years!!"
