Twitter reactions to Kentucky’s loss to North Carolina and Will Stein’s introduction to BBN

There are nights when the shots aren’t going to fall. That’s basketball. Then there was Tuesday night in Lexington, where the Kentucky Wildcats shot an abysmal 1-of-13 from three-point range in a 67-64 loss to the North Carolina Tar Heels.

Kentucky went over 10 minutes without a made shot at one point in the second half, and it contributed mightily to the outcome of the game.

In addition, the Tar Heels out-rebounded the Wildcats 41-30.

It was a very nip-and-tuck game throughout the 40 minutes. Both teams were plagued by foul trouble, and neither team could open up a lead in the first half. The game was tied 31-31 at the half.

Both teams struggled shooting all night. Kentucky missed 14 of its last 16 shots. North Carolina, on the other hand, closed the game by making five of their last seven shots.

Box Score

MVP: Otega Oweh

Oweh looked like the player we all thought he would be coming into this season, Tuesday night. He did a little bit of everything, scoring 16 points to lead the Wildcats, and pulling down four rebounds, with two assists, two blocks, and two steals.

Too bad it came in a losing effort.
