TarHeelsWire How to Watch
The North Carolina Tar Heels won an instant classic on Tuesday night against the Kentucky Wildcats . UNC faced a 6-point, second-half deficit, but roared back for a 67-64 victory.
If you didn't know much about Derek Dixon before tip-off, you do now. Dixon, a freshman guard from Washington, D.C., scored five of North Carolina's (7-1) final six points. Kyan Evans started at point guard for the Tar Heels, but Dixon certainly warrants an extended look going forward.

Speaking of, UNC makes its long-awaited return to Chapel Hill on Sunday afternoon, hosting the Georgetown Hoyas for a 5 p.m. tip-off.
North Carolina's most recent home game was a closer-than-expected, 75-63 win over Navy on November 18. The Tar Heels are a perfect 5-0 at home so far, also beating Central Arkansas, Kansas, Radford and NC Central.
Georgetown (6-2), a once-storied program under the leadership of National Championship-winning coach John Thompson Jr., is hoping Ed Cooley can get it back to the Big Dance. The Hoyas already have big wins over Maryland and Clemson , so why not another over UNC?
North Carolina has its sights set on more than just an NCAA Tournament appearance. The Tar Heels want their seventh NCAA Tournament title. UNC won't play its first ACC game until December 30, when it hosts Florida State , but early indications of a successful season are promising.

UNC will be the Hoyas' greatest early-season test, but this game will be close throughout. Ed Cooley's squad is playing its best basketball in quite some time, but the Tar Heels are still jumping from Tuesday's big win in Lexington.
