GOG 2011-12 #04: North Carolina

UK is coming off a dominating win over St. John's. North Carolina took it's first loss last week and struggled against a very good Wisconsin squad on Wednesday. None of which means anything in what is easily the biggest regular season game of the non-conference season in all of college basketball and maybe the biggest regular season game period.

Tentative Upcoming GOG Schedule (to help you plan your GOGness):

GOG #4: UNC

GOG #5: Indiana

GOG #6: Chattanooga, Samford, Loyola, Lamar

GOG #7: Louisville
