6 more thoughts and updated season stats after Kentucky’s huge win over North Carolina

The Kentucky Wildcats and North Carolina Tar Heels faced off in Chicago for the CBS Sports Classic matchup that was almost a must win for the Cats.

It was a fast paced, fun game that any basketball fan would enjoy watching.

Right from the tip, it was obvious that both teams wanted to run and that created an absolutely insane pace throughout the first half. It was the up and down game that fans had hoped for.

A steal and layup by Ashton Hagans gave the Cats their first points of the ballgame and from there it was a sprint for 20 minutes.
