The #16 ranked Tar Heels of North Carolina will come to Rupp to take of the #19 Wildcats of Kentucky as part of the ACC/SEC Challenge. The Tar Heels are currently 6-0 but they have a big game tomorrow on Thanksgiving vs. Michigan State. This will be another opportunity for the Cats to show they can go out compete and defeat a top 25 opponent. The game unfortunately has a 9:30pm tip on ESPN. GO Cats!!

I hope the defense finally clicks against one of these good teams.

Just not feeling it yet on our defense.

North Carolina lost to Michigan State earlier today 74-58. The best player for UNC, Caleb Wilson, is a kid that was long thought to be a Kentucky lean up until the point he chose North Carolina. He would have been a starter at the 4 spot this year at UK. 

Common opponent Michigan State defeated North Carolina by 16 this evening 74-58.

Cats are a 8.5 point favorite as of now. I haven't seen UNC all year and I know Hubert Davis isn't a top level coach, but I have seen our boys play this year. No clue how the Cats are such a big favorite here.

Kentucky 82-76.

The rumor a couple weeks ago was that the UNC game could possibly be Quaintance’s first game for the Cats. I’d sure like to see the big guy in action. His highlights from Arizona State last year are awesome.

Dickie V is going to on the announcing crew for the game tonight.

I heard the announcers say that and now I am watching a hostile act from Duke.  I am glad that play was reviewed and the foul was upgraded.  

46-43 Duke over Florida with 1221 left in the game.

I was just thinking about you, lol.

I got up much earlier than normal today and I am going be on the struggle bus tonight.

Same boat, had to be up at 5. Got a two hour nap during a medical procedure, but other than that I've been going strong. And I am feeling it. 

Now it is a dead ball technical contact foul on Florida, or something close to that. 

The refs are spending too much time reviewing stuff which disrupts the flow of the game.

I hope everything went well and if I took a two hour nap I would be up all night.

Also it is delaying getting this game over with to get to the Tar Heels and Cats. At least the officials are not allowed this to go to the monitor over every call the last two minutes of games.
