Kentucky vs. North Carolina: Analysis, expert picks & predictions

One of college basketball’s greatest matchups over the past decade has occurred when the Kentucky Wildcats and North Carolina Tar Heels take the court against each other.

The last two meetings have been especially exciting. Between Malik Monk’s 47 point performance in a 2016 Kentucky victory and Luke Maye’s last-second shot to win in the Elite 8 in 2017, the bar is set pretty high for this game.

On Saturday, the two historic programs will meet once again. This time, they’ll take the United Center hardwood in Chicago, IL for one of college basketball’s most profound events.
