So who wins? This one was tough. The Heels had experience and unlike Kentucky won a championship. However, it is hard to look past all the talent at UK that season. I have a soft spot for that ’05 Championship team as I was their for the 8-20 season. However, the Wildcats are probably too much for the Tar Heels who would’ve struggled with Kentucky’s size, defense and depth.
