    Kentucky Falls To North Carolina Despite Ashley Judd's Admonitions For Improved Defense

    You have to hand it to Ashley Judd. The accomplished actress who has starred in dozens of movies I haven't seen was a tireless Obama supporter, and during a campaign stop in Chapel Hill last month, made a promise to sit in the UNC cheering section during the Kentucky game if Obama carried North Carolina on Nov. 4. Considering that she's a Kentucky native and rabid Wildcats fan, that's quite a sacrifice. Well, mission accomplished.

    UNC won 77-58, which must have been very traumatic to miss Judd, who is well known for a 1996 quote concerning the Tar Heels. When offered a North Carolina jacket on a cold morning on a movie set, she said: "I'd just as soon freeze to death."

    More bad news for Kentucky: They're 0-2, and got drilled despite the fact that UNC was missing the injured Tyler Hansbrough. Worse news for North Carolina: 7-foot freshman Tyler Zeller, Hansbrough's replacement, suffered a wrist injury in the second half and had to be taken to the hospital for X-rays.
