Lucas: Kentucky Rapid Reactions

By Adam Lucas

1. Not much to say other than that was a thorough demolition by Kentucky of a Carolina team that felt like it had been playing better recently. That wasn't the case Saturday, as the Wildcats ran away with a 98-69 win.

2. The Tar Heels had been an effective second half team for most of this season, but that wasn't the case against UK. After the Tar Heels had made a small push at the end of the first half to get within 11 at the break, Kentucky blitzed out of the locker room and built a lead as big as 30 midway through the second half.
