The Cats really had a fight on their hands saturday afternoon against the number 5 ranked UNC! The Tar-Heels came out firing but the Cats didn't let that phase them. By the end of the half, UNC had taken a 43 to 38 lead because of some handy 3-point shooting.
Coming out in the second half it still seemed that the two teams were evenly matched throughout. Shot after shot was matched by each team. In the final minutes, UK took the lead and was up 73 to 72 with 21 seconds to go. It all came down to the final play when Zeller, seeing a double team coming his way, dished the ball off to John Henson who had an easy ten footer for the win. He sets to take the shot and releases. Out of know where the 6'10" defensive machine Anthony Davis came flying across the lane and blocked the shot to end the game grabbing the win for UK! From the looks of it, Davis is the man stepping up for the Cats in big games.
UK was lead by Michael Kidd-Gilchrest with 17 points and 11 huge rebounds. Jones and Lamb threw in 14 a piece and Miller came off the bench hitting a 3-pointer and scoring 12 points.
Calipari bettered his home winning record since joining with the Wildcats to 38-0 and the Cats now have a season record of 8-0!
