Kentucky hits reset button with statement win over North Carolina

Kentucky’s 80-72 win over No. 9 North Carolina hit the reset button of the season. This week, John Calipari said he believed the Duke loss still lingered over the fanbase and he was right; that’s why Kentucky’s performance tonight was so great. Not only did the Cats look like they were having fun for the first time since the Bahamas, they won because they were doing the things right that they did wrong earlier this season. Good defense created opportunities for the offense. Proper spacing in the post allowed Reid Travis and PJ Washington to work together.
