Welcome to another podcast by Inside Carolina.com, the independent voice of UNC Sports,

your home for Tar Heel football, basketball, and recruiting.

I'm your host, Tommy.

Ashley, joined by Ross Martin, Sherell McMill-Millan, and Greg Barnes. Greg freshly back from Chicago to see Carolina struggle against Kentucky go down to the

Wildcats and the game that not sure was actually as close as it looked at times.

Carolina certainly had an opportunity to get back into it late and it just wasn't meant to be.

Greg, I'll start with you

first. I mean, on TV, it did not look like Carolina was able to match Kentucky's intensity,

maybe physicality. What did you see in person? Yeah, I would agree with that. And I think part of it is

that that was really a pro-Kentucky crowd, surprisingly.

North Carolina travels as well, if not better, than the most any school out there.

But it was probably two-thirds Kentucky fans, it seemed like.

I mean, the UNC had more booze when they came out, and it seemed Kentucky had cheers when they came out.

And I think that had a part to do with it in terms of Kentucky being able to rally around that fan support.

But I do think yet again, what we keep going back to this is Roy Harped on effort.

And the players talked about it after the game.

And it was really just kind of sloppy.

I think a couple things stood out to me.

We can dive into a little bit more.

But kind of after going back and listening to the audio from this game and then a couple

games recently.

It seems Roy is, he's mad, but he's frustrated to the extent that this team is doing some really, like, high school level things, doing it over and over again.
