The Thanksgiving holiday is over, which means Big Blue Nation’s attention has moved to next Tuesday, when the Kentucky Wildcats will take on the North Carolina Tar Heels in the SEC/ACC Challenge.
In year one of the Mark Pope era at Kentucky, the Wildcats lost to the Clemson Tigers in the SEC/ACC Challenge. This year, the Wildcats will look to represent the SEC with a big win over the Tar Heels, who are coming off their first loss of the season at the hands of the Michigan State Spartans.
The number one player that will be a concern for the Wildcats in this game is Caleb Wilson. This name sounds familiar to Kentucky fans, as it should. At one point during this past recruiting cycle, it looked like Wilson was a lock to head to Lexington, but he ended up choosing the Tar Heels.
He is off to a red-hot start to his college career. So far through seven games at North Carolina, Wilson is averaging 19.9 points, 9.9 rebounds, 2.1 assists, 1.7 steals, and 1.3 blocks. The freshman has turned heads as night after night; he puts up an impressive stat line. Wilson will be a big part of this game as he heads to Rupp Arena…
