Kentucky was so competitive against No. 1 Kansas that even Tyler Hansbrough and Chris Mack were full of praise for the Wildcats.
Hansbrough, the former North Carolina star who is no fan of Kentucky, said the Wildcats impressed him the most during the Champions Classic.
On The Field of 68 podcast last night, Hansbrough was asked which team impressed him the most in Chicago. He replied, “I hate to say this, but it’s Kentucky.”
Former Louisville head coach Mack agreed.
“Much like Tyler, I love what I saw with Kentucky,” Mack stated. “I’m just really, really impressed with what I saw.”
