7. Kennedy Meeks | North Carolina Tar Heels | 3.5 Offensive Rebounds P/G

Louisville has seen this guy before, but he has definitely gotten better since the Cardinals upset North Carolina in the Yum Center last year. This is Meek’s last season as a Tar Heel, therefore he will be looking to finish what he started and win the ACC Championship again in his senior campaign.

Take a look at what Meeks has accomplished as a Tar Heel, according to North Carolina’s official athletics website:

"Has scored in double figures 46 times, grabbed 10 or more rebounds 19 times and has 12 double-doubles Has 981 career points, 674 rebounds and 107 blocks Has four 20-point games (25 vs. Temple in the 2015-16 opener, 23 vs. NC State at home this year, 21 vs. Robert Morris as a sophomore and 23 at Florida State as a freshman)."

As we all saw in the Kentucky versus North Carolina game, the Tar Heels are a very dangerous basketball team this season.

Hopefully the Cards can keep Meeks in check whenever they meet up over the next month or so.
