The Wildcats handled their old interstate rivals, Louisville handedly. Their perfect record got a big of a scare when Ole Miss unexpectedly pushed them into overtime. The Wildcats were abel to hang on for the victory 89-86. The question is quickly becoming can any SEC stop the Wildcats?
Duke also had a recent scare against Wake Forrest but were abel to hang on for the victory 73-65 on the back of 20 points from Justise Winslow.
Of the top three teams it Virginia seems like the weakest link. Miami pushed them to double overtime. North Carolina State also came within inches of beating Virginia. However, they keep holding on to remain undefeated.
