Tied at 31 at the half. Really neither team played very well in my opinion. Cats shooting it from 2 good 50% but 0-8 from 3 and have been outrebounded by 7 and gave up 11 offensive rebounds. The Tar Heels had 7 turnovers that the Cats scored 10 points off of.

You're talking about halftime, there is 1216 left and the Cats are up 49 to 44. 

Someone needs to tell Aberdeen there is a reason that UNC is leaving him open on 3's.

This is a terrible game both ways the only thing that either team will be able to say positive about this game is they won. It will be terrible for the loser. The Cats last scored a basket was at the 13:08 mark and what does it say for Carolina that the score is still tied. lol

The two teams are a combined 43-108 from the field and 5-30 from 3. The Cats have given up 18 offensive rebounds and the Tar Heels have turned over 12 times and the Cats have 13 points off of this. Plus I am still sitting here watching it and my luck it will go OT. lol

Cats have the lead after Moreno hits two big FT's and they come down and play good defense and don't get a loose ball then do not get the defensive rebound and the Tar Heels still have the ball down 1 with 1:00 to play. Of course, they hit a 3 and now led by 2 with :35 seconds to play.

Chandler ties it at 64 with :31 seconds to play and it is North Carolina's ball.

Cats give up a direct drive after a ball screen and let Carolina shoot a layup to led 66-64 with :12.4 seconds to play and Kentucky has the ball.

Chandler drives and misses a reverse layup to tie. My goodness a horrible loss barring a miracle.

Cats lose 67-64.

Absolutely terrible shot selection and ball movement. UK needs a PG that can run a fluid offense.
