The North Carolina Tar Heels are in Chicago, IL to take on the Kentucky Wildcats in the CBS Sports Classic. This will be the 40th meeting between the two programs, with the Tar Heels leading the all-time series 24-15. They are the only school in the country that has won more than 10 times while holding a winning record against the Wildcats.
This chapter of the UNC/Kentucky rivalry is bound to be an interesting one. The Heels are coming off of a win in Chapel Hill against Gonzaga, who was the second-best team in the country prior to this week’s AP poll.
