    You know where I stand.
    We know who HayesFan is picking.

    It should be a great game. North Carolina beat Kentucky at home by two points earlier in the season, but both teams are now better. Both with a freshman who can come up in the clutch.

    Who wins?

    Have to give the edge to UNC, who I think is the only team left in the tournament that can beat Kansas.

    Yeah, my selection is a foregone conclusion...

    The last game when UNC won UK was forced out the game because of foul issues... and still only lost by 2

    Both teams have improved a great deal since then... and the crowd will likely be evenly split (even though tonight there were probably more UNC fans) with more UK fans heading up there for the next game.

    If we thought this last one vs OSU was epic, vs UNC will be even better. :)

    Henson looked good today and Harrison Barnes is finally playing as he should be... UK needs Terrence Jones to shake off whatever has him playing mediocre and to play like a lottery pick again.

    Should be a barnburner, but I give the slight edge to UNC based on their NBA-sized frontline.

    Congrats, HayesFan. Hard fought game on both sides. Henson getting in foul trouble was killer, but your boys knocked down big shot after big shot. Knight is something special.

    It was a great game. Knight did alright, Barnes had a great game too. It was about to give me a heart attack when yall tied us up.

    Jorts was supposed to be the weak link on the team and yet he has been the bestp layer for Kentucky in the tournament.

    Well I must say most consistently good player in the tourney.

    saw the replay of this in oz last night.....good game to watch....was quite impressed with knight....and I also liked the way barnes stepped up for UNC when they needed him to (although not quite taking it all the way to the win).....had a bit of star quality about it.
