So it will be Kentucky, not North Carolina, as the No. 1 team in college basketball when the two teams play next Saturday at Rupp Arena.
North Carolina just lost 90-80 to UNLV in the Las Vegas Invitational. The Rebels, under new coach David Rice, made 13 three-pointers to knock off the top-ranked team in the country.
The Tar Heels will try to rebound Wednesday night at home against Wisconsin in the ACC/Big 10 challenge. No. 2 (fir now) Kentucky, an 87-63 winner over Portland tonight, plays St. John’s on Thursday in Rupp as part of the SEC/Big East Challenge.
So here’s the question: Does North Carolina’s loss tonight help or hurt the Cats?
