Carolina Series History (Last Meeting): Carolina leads 24-15 (Carolina 75, Kentucky 73, March 26, 2017, Memphis, Tenn.)

Saturday marks Kentucky's third neutral-site game of the season, and the Wildcats will be hoping to reverse a negative trend. UK is 8-0 at Rupp Arena but 0-2 on neutral floors, losing to Duke in Indianapolis to open the year and then to Seton Hall two weeks ago at the Garden.

While neither loss is necessarily damaging in the long term, the 118-84 setback to Duke lingers as one of the defining results of the early season.
