We all know that UNC’s rivalry with Duke gets the most attention out of all of their heated feuds, but the Carolina/Kentucky rivalry isn’t one to sleep on either. Sure, maybe these teams’ hatred for one another isn’t as fervent as the Tobacco Road Rivalry, but what always makes this a rivalry to watch is the accolades — both of these schools account for 14 NCAA Tournament titles, 38 trips to the Final Four, and 63 conference tournament titles. Looking purely at NCAA championships, Kentucky and UNC are the second and third-most decorated programs in college basketball history.
This weekend, these two teams will face off for the 43rd time as part of the CBS Sports Classic in Atlanta, GA.
