As Kentucky basked in the afterglow of their 76-69 East Regional Final triumph over North Carolina on Sunday, they looked every bit a perfect program. Their hyper-efficient offense scored seemingly at will, racking up 38 points per half and shooting 48 percent from the field. Their perimeter defense was suffocating, limiting the Tar Heels to 3-of-16 from three. At times, the Wildcats appeared unstoppable. Scary then, that with the addition of 6-foot-7 forward Michael Gilchrist, they may be even better next season.
