In games like this, where they’re won is in the trenches. In the trenches, what lives there is boxing out loose balls, rebounds, attacking offensive glass, finishing around the basket, those type of plays. Kentucky was tougher than us in the trenches,” UNC coach Hubert Davis said. “In order to win games like that you have to win the battle in the paint ... You have to win those individual battles, and we did not. That’s why we lost the game.”
