Wildcats fallen behind like this.

Armando Bacot scored 11 of his teamhigh 14 points in the second half Saturday, rallying No. 22 North Carolina from a double-digit deficit to beat Kentucky 75-63 at the CBS Sports Classic.

Kentucky (1-5) has lost five in a row for the first time since John Calipari became coach in 2009 and is off to its worst start since the 1926-1927 season.

“I’m just so disappoint­ed, especially the last 10 minutes of the game,” Calipari said. “I know they’re better than this. Is it just trying to make tough plays? I’ve got to watch this tape and figure it out.”

Kerwin Walton scored 13 points and fellow freshman guard Caleb Love had 11 points and six assists for North Carolina (5-2), which outscored the Wildcats 33-15 to end the game. Sei Young Kim is in position to defend her title in the CME Group Tour Championsh­ip, take player of the year honors, win the money title and possibly even move to No. 1 in the world. Kim took a one-stroke lead over top-ranked Jin Young Ko into the final round of the LPGA Tour season, shooting a 5-under 67 on Saturday in warmer conditions at Tiburon Golf Club to reach 13-under 203. Ko had a 69. ... Charlie Woods, the 11-year-old son of 15-time major champion Tiger Woods, made his national TV debut Saturday in the PNC Championsh­ip. And according to his dad, he played just like he does at home. They finished the scramble format at 10-under 62, four shots behind Matt Kuchar and son Cameron. Charlie Woods is the youngest to play in this 36-hole event that began in 1995 for major champions and their sons.
