Before I was fully admitted into the escape-proof prison of hate that is the Louisville-Kentucky rivalry (ages 0-4, basically), there was Indiana.

It might be a little bit much to give someone player of the game based mainly on two plays, but they were quite important ones. Derek Dixon did not lead North Carolina in any of the typical box score stats in Tuesday’s 67-64 win over Kentucky. The reason we’re giving him the nod is that […]
