had no answer to hip dance that little old folks welcome back I was worried too about shot clock running down they get it off can't convert balls loose ball still loose and Kentucky gets into the crack down knocks for free tell you one thing John Calipari I don't like the effort right dad I wasn't 50/50 battle for the ball that's comes up he that the other three they shot to 420 their last game against Missouri from the threat a sophomore dominated Tennessee teams keep an eye on grant Williams number two Admirals Schofield number five they both had big games against Kentucky last month this is Kyle Alexander and it's going to be a travel second turnover already committed by Rick Barnes volunteers meanwhile for Kentucky five freshmen this is the way it's been all season long and John Calipari this week trying to rally Big Blue Nation should have behind them they're very young and they don't have that Fox or monk type guy that really everybody could just jump on his back and play behind also inside then we'll have a guy like an abaya who is absolutely super playing really well now in the NBA with Miami this is not a vintage Kentucky deep down let's face reality there what it does on that floor the only one I see possibly is Kevin Cox now you talk about the keys whenever you look at right now in Kentucky they've been share the basketball they're gonna make sure that they get the ball all the key people as you take a look right here will you look at Tennessee they want to go inside outside to be efficient with Williams and bring the ball to the perimeter where they can shoot it the Wildcats want to share the basketball something they have not been happy about they're not getting in the assistant they're not getting assistance field goals that are made but how about this on the season Tennessee has recorded an assist on 65% of its made field goals that's 4th in the country Kentucky 50% way down near the bottom and the last two games it was 20 sub per sale at 40 some percent we talked about Vanderbilt then looked out what if available game really did that if I help them on a foul with two seconds to go and then put into overtime and then Kentucky losing at Missouri on the weekend Tennessee coming off a blowout win over Ole Miss on Saturday Schofield misses the three and a Washington down for the rebound for Kentucky while she could be a very key player on the inside neutralizing ability of Williams knocks with a full head of steam turns it over Tennessee look at her run jordan bone the follow though is good for jordan bound to tell you about and really did a great job hustling kenny transition with the second effort this is a very athletic deep Tennessee team I was impressed with them at the Battle of Atlantis when he Purdue they beat North Carolina State lost the tough days of Villanova I think they really open up some eyes around the country this is a team hard to believe now preseason media poll 14 teams they were picked 13 before the year now my - Auburn was pick night and here's Auburn number one Tennessee tied for second right now warbirds obey and then they should not only when you throw my number one in the SEC which I'll say this I record now my feeling and that doesn't mean I'm right just by feeling I think yes you see is the best conference top the bottom and basketball today I really do a runs in cycles but I feel today the SEC is number one of my mind here's the preseason poll and again it's been it's been a wacky crazy kind of season so this kind of stuffs happening all over the place but Tennessee 13 now they didn't have a good year last year but all those freshman from last year's sophomores now and Rick Barnes really has a team that plays as a unit they really play together they really do hopeful offensively defensively and I know one thing they will not be preseason 30 dr. Alexander lays it in he's a Canadian he's in town and I see a face - he's from Milton Ontario not that far away from where shape gilja's Alexander's from he's from Hamilton Ontario why basketball has really become big out there in Kent in the last 10 years wait till next year our Jay Garrick gonna do he's unbelievable three on two Tennessee a little bit strong on the three for battle Kentucky still looking for its first field goal Andy a low has it swatted away the people undefeated in mind with a lot of nonsense subs for both teams want a green into the game for Kentucky also when you Gabriel and Jarrett Vanderbilt [Music] steal juice Alexander swings it extra pass green is open and very soon that was really pretty good John teleport has to light the way the ball was her first fight rocks for the wide open shot that's what he's talking about sharing the ball Derek Walker in off the bench for Tennessee also Eve pawns a 6'5 freshman from France number 35 in orange so one thing they go to the bench report bone steps in misses the long two great offensive rebound by Walker just on hustle hustle Kentucky on his last there but you don't have to watch a lot of Tennessee to see how hard they play well that's been a trademark of Rick Morris what is that Texas Clemson Providence wherever he's been kickball and our first media timeout of the game four and a half in that not enough before eardrum ESPN's exclusive presentation of the by boost mobile we are tied at four it was the first media timeout at Rupp Arena the second meeting of the season between these two programs they men in Knoxville on the 6th of January Kentucky led in the first half for then Tennessee specifically grant Williams just took over in the second half that's Alexander chipping it as well but it was a lot of Williams after v-j Washington at Branch his legs forced him out of the game animal schofield with the explanation of boy tennessee outscored kentucky 47 to 28 in the second half of that game at Tennessee could win tonight it'll be the first time since 1998 99 that they have swept the regular season pair of games from Kentucky a little bit here in those days a little bit but I thought is they wanted 2006 year last time they went here all is right off the classic great performance that night by Chris Lofton great score he was listed best for Kentucky they didn't recruit up Jamie your career-high 31 7 threes and they beat the cats in 2006 those lamonta Turner number one for Tennessee in off the bench he is instant offense off the bench for Rick Barnes also James Daniel the 3rd another guard who can score the ball though he's been more of a facilitator for the volunteers he led the nation to score last year in the trench at the mount of rivers of Howard yes transferred from Howard stolen away by Williams there's no rhythm right now will offensively at all when you look at Kentucky do not get any rhythm at all they're trying to pass the wall the trying to do things but there's no real rhythm Rick Barnes feels Tennessee the best chance for them the thing they have to do is make Kentucky play five on five no transition no easy buckets but he likes their chances to take that make Kentucky play a half-court game white lights the physicality to his team see that's one real problem right now John Calipari talks about like clubs my pistol now it's an store and not by Turner go to back in for Tennessee let's send it over to Allison Williams well Dan you and dick have mentioned how well Tennessee passes the ball and I talked to Admiral Schofield and grant Williams about the buy into that they said it started over the summer when the team was playing in Europe they could see it Allison when I was out in the Bahamas I was in a locker 1 before the game talking Rick Barnes political play he said that we're gonna be good and I walked away I said to myself man I couldn't believe what I was watching they won that game and did a great job at the end the win it and since then they have been really super and every one of the big surprises in America along with all birds that have made you surprised you could say Clemson you think about right now when you think of klutzes you think of Texas text to the Angels I'm an Ohio State Ohio State's been a big surprise Joey practices Tennessee is a four seed right now Turner pulls up for a jumper the rebound down to gates Alexander Gill Giselle exempt it's not a real solid year he's been a real catalyst of Kentucky making big plays too much bouncing the ball go to you more player movement sacha killeya-jones he has to shovel it out of trouble and again they're not getting anywhere come spacing yep Billy no space she would be 15 17 feet apart to create driving angles setting the shot clock diello for three [Applause] Tennessee will run when given the opportunity Kentucky law for cheese he is tremendous in transition when he's driving to the bucket he's about as tough to stop as anybody absolutely it's got great bouncing off the floor but it feels that it's February which the Fed where the six then and even John Calipari said well we're still tinkering they're still trying to figure out exactly who they are right we have not weakened like you did up what you don't talk about he's a tickler won eight games to go then turn over good hands by Daniel Scofield rattle honor to walk Alexander didn't get called for hander with a slash how exactly gets the Slam what tremendous a pass Daniel off the bench averaging about three and a half assists per game he done a great job with dropped on a dime man take a look it up he chucked that baby right to his teammate great position knew where he was this is a good Tennessee team and I'm sure you would agree there is zero oh it's Rupp Arena intimidation what's there's zero absolutely Tennessee kids no nothing whatsoever in fact I welcome the challenge they welcome the opportunity to compete just one of the great places for basketball I love coming here I mean it's the passion of fans a little quiet right down what did John say he's pretty pulling up and said it's so quiet in there he looks quiet when he watches on TV I'm at the Vanderbilt game who was quiet until very end Illya Jones espoused the bars been set so high that when they struggle and by Kentucky standard 17 and six is struggling I'm not sure the fans know what to do with it here absolutely that's a great point you made dad you're so darn sharp it's not real I think that he spoiled so many people with those incredible teams you lined up and you think about the talent you put the have those that talent that's the point now our guy Seth was trying to make Freiburg something to got upset he was basically trying to say this is not a vintage talented Kentucky team that's the past they're not quiet - y'all look white boy you big blue nation then get up there and Wow and look at the tweet that John Calipari was very active on social media he's not like vitalic Devine social media but he's on social media he said he now wants people to kind of stick with his team he wants help from the fans he wants support he wants enthusiasm he wants noise it feels like he thinks these kids need a little a little love and support if they're gonna get where he wants him to go Williams challenged and fouled by Kalia Jones absolutely I did he gave the other day Florida and Alabama really disappoint in Florida play the strong first half defended really well forced 14 turnovers by second half Alabama took total control Avery Johnson's kids really took come in but the Florida crown the kids needed them and I said that dirt intelligence with Bob will shoes it to Florida one of trooper Williams and the rebound out of Kentucky puberty is being very efficient offensively both the plane hardly felt sloppy spacing nilly poor to Rick Barnes wants five on five charity Vanderbilt offensive foul Williams step it in to take the charge you know another negative when you look into your offensive Kentucky only nineteen percent of their points come up to three one point lead Tennessee is miked up we'll listen in when we come back rise it is just play I love the ball movement we create a shot he makes the shot we ain't you got to do the same was wenyan same kind of deal so the two messages enjoy this and keep moving the ball John Calipari went so far as to say that he's going to view every pass as an assist obviously doesn't get scored like that in a real game but each is trying to pick of any way he can to encourage his through the ball a little bit better I talked to him on the phone today he said to be Dickie be I'm gonna give it a lot of love I'm not gonna scream that I'm too young they need a lot of love and that's why I watched the fans that really give them support he'd liked the way Knox reversed that ball and at one possession meanwhile they're one of nine with four turnovers so far tonight but remarkably they're only down a point course Tennessee has not been official offensive through the great job denying the ball to camp Williams in the skin.this for battle on the inside Williamson to Washington and Washington just got called for a foul Thursday night at 8:00 Eastern errani and the ESPN app as well well be jealous been watching them to is that it's worth bring ride with the best of the best there's no doubt about it to me Kentucky move is very good but that is two teams that play each other twice and they play attack that you need something give me your thoughts on those two teams wait where Duke and Carolina are a plant Carolina did you get a five star player and then given IV places of three and the three places of five you got an upset and now they're turnover 913 looks good at all offensively tonight we have a credit defense now folk clubs really getting after a defensive loop but the rhythm is just not there offensively each team's popped it up five times already now you like cut good spacing you don't see that nice look yo Josh Alexander to green [Applause] Dandy's penetration kicked it out a 5-ingredient connect shots he's nice tricky but he can make shots in high school philadelphia buildings woken up a little bit man yeah Dixon in three the vid can happen tt mode Williams focus in the kick and a mystery by Trevor leads to a went out the Kentucky these names been I don't like more than one syllable Brady three-point lead Kentucky more turnovers than made field goals so far in this one to me I may be home to my feeling this game was born in Kentucky take the Tennessee disagree yet at home never coming off a loss there at home have already lost to Tennessee once this year you don't want to get split I'm not sure Rick Barnes would agree with that but he Williams from the elbow know it not skies for the rebound they've really keeping Williams very quiet the last game he had 17 in the second half this wasn't spurts that was after TJ Washington left the game had cramps in his legs and Washington had really taken a to Williams in the first half over no Washington Williams took over the second half tell you one thing you talking about Tennessee their last three games it's been blow out City what they did to Iowa State at Iowa State in the big 12 SEC matchup beat up by 23 since the a 45 then they blew out LSU and then they really put the hurt along this 94612 blowing people out this year's the first year Tennessee's been arranged since 2010 they've been ranked for 10 straight weeks and on the heels of his five game winning streak they're up to 15th to the rankings rated everyone in on the last night of the loss was in that those dinosaur there's now played Auburn play the back January and all the beat up in Knoxville Tenn a basic destroy one so far that has become Knox with a drive baseline floater no and the rebound down to the balls defensive transition really big in this game for both clubs trying to get back defensively Tennessee shooting just 29% for 414 shot 71% against Mississippi in the second half that should be like that here today he got a credit death to Kentucky defensively let's go to Allison Williams sometimes kids arrive here based on the ratings on offense school they're thinking of one thing three letters and B a and B and to be fair the league is tough the SEC is really good there are no easy games in this way even a Vanderbilt which is two and eight could easily have two or three more wins in the league 11 of the 14 teams are between 6 & 4 & 4 & 6 say - I spoke to my dentist him a couple of weeks ago and he had said his back to the mid nineties when they had the great part these four teams had certainly Kentucky in Florida every game was a battle there's a battle right here Washington just got called for the foul I believe [Applause] or was he just out of bounds no foul ball it's going to be Tennessee ball with four on the shot clock they did not credit that as a change of possession Kentucky never had possession so the Vols have just four here's a look at the SEC RPI and the VPD I the fight top ortho big duck says then that's pretty a pretty accurate [Applause] Turner gets his shot off and knocks down a deep three he can score he can score off the bounce and score with the three they got a multitude of corn to think I'm playing that can score and they don't have to play anybody too much Williams leads them in minutes at 29 minutes per game then they got a bunch of guys 23 25 Rick Barnes there's a lot of depth on this well I read an article Mike Wilson down there in Knoxville about the fact that Williams of trying to pace them a little bit and practice because go back and hit problem I want to keep him out of foul trouble if possible he is vital to their success you know teams are gonna really make Kentucky shoot that three ball they're gonna have to really prove they could make the three ball and that was nearly their Achilles heel as out McGwire would say it game against Missouri his love to wouldn't you go to for 20 I mix my they've had a few games like that Daniel keeping the dribble alive now looking for help shot clocks at four and that was partially blocked by guilt yes Alexander Jeff good job offenses good job by Kentucky I like killed yourself sad that he's really versatile six six with a wingspan of 610 and he did come here as a starter but he has earned the right to be a star but what a green hurt his back Yodas Alexander took over and he has to let go of the job now they turned it over at twelve of a strange man so far here in Lexington an SEC update on the other side of this time on Saturday Tennessee's at Alabama SEC network game that's the big one here in this one 13 minutes and tied at 12 some ugly shooting as we take a look at Joey brackets bracketology right now hoggish we average Tennessee's got Kentucky securely in and then a whole lotta eights nines and tens teams that have to play all down the stretch to make sure they're comfortably in I'd say one thing I sweat Sexton last week he is really a talented player yeah explosive bounce off the floor and he takes quality shots and doesn't take bad shots remember that five on three game against Minnesota unbelievable with warden when the bench got thrown out and then another guy found out another guy got hurt and they played gosh I don't know how many minutes they played three on five here before TM they got closer three out of five because of sex the immediate double-team again down on the post but a foul they're making it tough for grant Williams to get any kind of look he's a double-double machine but he really changed any lane to get to the basket he's a excellent post player and that's the second foul on Washington that is a big loss for the Wildcats tomorrow hustle big day college football signing day they didn't like the call here's grant Williams 6 7 241 a sophomore out of Charlotte averaging better than 16 points and 6 rebounds per game and he's just he's just big-time strong when he gets good lower position you got to run a couple of defenders out of damage he's a fistful of the inside and he's tough to double him off because there are so many good limited players as well that he can get the wore out too and I always get a kick when he kisses oh it's so tough to make a decision every 100 off first tough it's tough like for me I have no offers and nobody wants you and you begged and pleaded I mean these guys make me laugh it's so Tom should all have such problems oh well how about Kentucky it amazingly again it's only a one-point Kentucky's made two field goals in 30 step they got two threes and six free throws they only had 18 points in the first half against Missouri on Friday though I got 12 so far here tonight that 18 was the lowest in a half for Kentucky under John Calipari that's not Vanderbilt game but you see number one when you look at the production players right very athletic dick dominated in high school they're unbelievable speed quickness didn't have to shoot perimeter shots they'd have to do two things fundamentally they got away with that they dominant a guy they can throw the ball to down to the post and just make the move they've got a lot of long athletic guys but they don't have a lot of post player they thought the answer would be Richard doesn't have yet he needs another year of college some people say he's gonna be a tough a lottery selection I cannot see that been a while since there's been a basket pay attention but it's really really tough that's 1/5 dancer sitting on their hands right now very quiet but it's a close game yeah well that's what people want to see if those until a one-point lead Tennessee not short that might have been deflected challenge shot you want open shot you don't wanna take challenge shot pick Barnes there he is though sometimes divorce is good hate to say it but he came at iron tip says that a change was good for Rick and it became good for Texas as well he did a great job day year after year get a good at the NCAA tournament and remember this he lost a lot of guys that he mba including one by the name of mr. Durant absolutely took him to the Final Four back in 2003 TJ Ford of course the star of that team third year now in Knoxville 652 wins overall for Rick Barnes in 31 seasons let's pass the edges Alexander comes back to though he bets things out notice I would say the big things happen good penetration he understands how to cut a lot of young guys there they may be skilled intelligent herbs that focuses a little bit too savvy abuse teach you how to play don't you soldiers knows how to play good ball pressure here bad grammar the crowd getting back into it again Tennessee the offensive end but only momentarily a good deep and Angela Williams and Williams back to the free-throw line that will condemn Tricia Rose in five deep also keeping the ball too much and I'm sure with the officials were looking at Don Dale he's got the headset on over the smaller stable I think it's ready [Music] [Applause] Saturday afternoon on ESPN will have another sonic blockbuster for you ESPN and the ESPN app Purdue has not lost since you saw Wow in the Bahamas right thank you November unbelievable I'll be down and we'll probably she's that we're looking forward to that Allison be there as well should be quite a case because course will be for number one seat Purdue just has so much going for him the two big guys on the inside Carson Edwards at the point Mathias who can shoot it really well Vince Edwards pastas good play great for them and son they got a lot of different weapons but Michigan State does well yeah he does put a lot of tension a lot of pressure out there because wall is scenario a horrific horrific situation and with the sexual abuse that took place reverse for aliens nice little play right there by Williams get the ball inside he knows how to finish by the names to have years ago before you the pony yogi Shaw man great views what a combination results of the foul and Gabriel growing with alarm first Andre Williams big guillotine two minutes of zone in the first game against Kentucky because he needed Williams of the game and Williams was fouled Oh was hampered by fouls he said since that game he hates she's played believed possessions of joy and she I think a lot of teams puts on silver ring on a sideline against Kentucky I think if you get in zone n to make them have to shoot that perimeter shot clam inside on them cam it up I think they really struggling if you can take away that transition game [Applause] one of two for Gabriel Duvall's with a two-point lead four minutes to go him at a very low scoring the first half I've been here a lot of years to infinity that you use a few off that love this place this one is quite as crowds I have something here Schofield off shot right there came over the hook side tremendous job found a good angle for that block Shum Gabriel with the block Richards coming back into the game only because of a foul trouble some of his teammates [Applause] Scofield gets the wall and that quiets the crowd actually sits him back down on their seats 10:1 he's very strong as well so they got strength physically on that baseline that Williams had certainly scoped you absolutely his anger grew on it and about then shut me back on top these two teams finally figured out a way to make the ball go through the basket and we'll still be on our way up [Applause] now John Calipari asked to the crowd to support the team to make noise they do what a rebound the monkeys defects you can hear em selfish one [Applause] he said he fell asleep watching this way and Jenny well you did a foolish sleep on me I'm insulted I'm affronted you better send me and call me with an apology if I don't expect anybody to be bored and his sleep went out through the tunnel town I hope he understands that I'm going to use my ring Oh sat down I'm upset DJ he just did moco rag on ha ha ha hey Kentucky 350 on the theater 51 schools in terms of shooting two three effectively percentage ones 90% of points come from the throat and that's 350 on the 351 Tennessee's very good three-point shooting team but they're only 1 for 9 tonight they're struggling shooting the ball well things pulling tough keeping classic spot shot fate awaits burn around by a bro Schofield he was challenged on that shot you I was ready say bad shot bad shot he was really challenging I'd say what thing they've contained not so far in this game [Music] he's helping Ward meet without the ball he stands around too much I think you're talking about yeah if his kids come back to school list the child Calipari because he's a teacher or motivator they come back they could be dynamite you know one of the problems in a place like this sometimes is you're worried about who's coming in next year and then whether they're better than you and you might have to go just because you won't play as much because who's coming in next year that's a great point rich in baseline jumper goes down for Turner and Tennessee goes back on top well their kid will make your shots bad he'll record shows that the percentages show that it was a good time out by Rick Warren's timeout John Calipari balls up last minute of the first half give man you get me see you help me out there be the step man for you judge you as a statment patient [Applause] [Music] [Applause] making plays when they need a play to be made shot clock turned off into the half Moone approved by both clubs on the defensive end Turner a win of three with a lot of time left on the clock shot goes down that's the good news but Kentucky gets a chance why they green he makes a big shot against Vandy to to the City of Brotherly Love when they're all celebrating that follows baby he goes from a backup to the MVP and all this his bank account gonna go take a leak dendrite babies like Jason sent me I get such teams heated up a bit at the end of the half Tennessee leads by water requires is with our Orioles to be better offensively as a half went on but why did you feel like you guys were a bit disjointed at times offensively well pretty hard to gateman stars you know neither team but I thought both these were the big blocks with shots and he asked them look we didn't finish but you know we told her guys I just found with us we just got to keep doing what we do won't start making some shots which we did and but it's gonna be hard it is it's gonna be hard but we just got to continue to stay with they're playing what we did these last two baskets we can't we shot it too early and that's a heck of a shop it's a lob do something we talked about not giving up we can't give those plays up what's about 200 defensive end you are what stood out to you on the defensive that well again we shrank the floor really good we did a good job with that and broke some balls loose we didn't get enough of it to capitalize on it but with that you know we make some plays but in only offensive being we threw the ball away we had a lob dog we dribble the ball off too many turnovers that way hey thank you now so thank you at half Tennessee 27 Kentucky 26 the shop like want a green and finishing the first down now for a bail app time report coming up the coach Jay will Chris cotton after this back to rivalry week presented by lending her up Arena in Lexington low score in half but trust us when we tell you they got high to get it to 27 26 there's four more the last four five minutes that they did the rest of the hat what is that close well defense see over the cards right here see you liked it chunk to a big baby I follow you everywhere that's what happened Hawks only had two points in the half I mean they gotta get some time on Cox he's a big-time player for them and he's gonna perform up to did against West Virginia infected a witness basketballs in this is a must-win I really believe at this time of the year but it's up to I think they have to win this game by their form their game back to Tennessee in the SEC standings balls to seven and three catches 64 time now for tonight's game flow driven by Continental Tire there wasn't a whole lot of flow in the first map but lamonta Turner came off the bench to Tennessee he scored 11 to leave the walls and what a green him on the bench for Kentucky he scored 10 to lead the cats nothing easy for either team both teams 30 percent in the first half and again they both got hot to get to 38% max was old for four you can't have a player with his talent going on for four his the lemon is getting free he stands to off he's got to learn the move without the ball played 18 minutes in the first half at two points two rebounds at an early Kentucky turnover numbers for Tennessee and the left hand and lay in for Jordan bone well they let me go right into the Gulf nobody stepped in front it's gonna take him to charge right there right hit why the green should have been stuck right in front loops given unmolested life I could have made that layup Tennessee's won five in a row they've allowed only 58 points per game in those five he'll just Alexander misses the corner three Richard swings it up there's a guy that's not getting the most out of his skills and talent and size you know you talk about Tennessee last seven games no one is score more than 65 on them floater no rebound Richard's a good start to the half granite riches green getting the start because the whole offensive threat he's a big-time offensive player in the scholastic level he's got some great bullets here this time presenting you green starting in place of Hobbiton Diallo here to begin the second half and it pays off immediately he almost been in their eyes a little disappointment there's no question he's that Florida system they can pick shots man nice 17 footer there by Jordan bone and he's the news it's his second field goal of the game he's got for now and Tennessee goes back on top while you truckball Bowden to talk about Daniel they're all capable of making shots obviously they got options make the Kentucky play five on five here in the half court see them they've been standing around watching it everybody stands around Washington draws the foul on William [Laughter] [Applause] Perry is going to be complaining as they get beat down the court yeah you beat down the court that's no way that should be happening after score that's just pure hustle this guy knows how to finish Richards palliative i Scofield if you don't you sit you know these kids have to look at the mirror and simply say you know what maybe another year is really worthy for us we need that X 2 years now you made a

trying to beat Kentucky for the second time this season for more on the balls that set it don't bother checking his office because he won't be there he never is in his actual office on campus instead he is set up a a makeshift one on the practice court there you can see at midcourt the table there that's where he spends his time where he does all of his works where he doesn't for a couple different reasons one is proximity he wants to be close to where the players are he also says he's more accessible that way he feels like guys are more comfortable coming up approaching him having conversations with him and frankly he doesn't like the feel of an office it's too stuffy it's too dark he rather be in the gym so that's where he sets up you move says he's literally been in his actual office three times and once they she mentions Rick Barnes and today it's shoot around this was Rob Lanier's scout every every team does it differently but usually they rotate the assistants which team your which game you're in charge of you watch the tape you tell the kids the players about the other team's offense and today was Rob linear not saying when Rob linear is running to practice they listen there's no messing around he gets their attention he really does Billy was really quality guy every time I've seen him if I was there I want the games on a cupcake city is I don't want to beat you students record cupcakes bear you know the assistant coaches work so hard and they don't get a fractionally of the acclaim that the head gun the head coaches are awesome but the assistant coaches they're the ones watching tape till 3:00 in the morning the other ones Jason doing all the drills yeah recruiting and in fact you know what the head coach gets financially yeah and I'll tell Austin works hard all the SIDS man unbelievable hours they put again we can't emphasize enough I this is a really vital game for Kentucky Auburn with a two-game lead atop the SEC standings Tennessee's at seven and three three teams are at six and four Kentucky Florida and fixify you're not going to get away with that I'm gonna get away with that no way shape of flaws Josh Mills shop right there can't believe he can't believe it it was so obvious nice you will want up Kalia Jones to the bench as a result and the coaching continues pretty good spacing right there by Tennessee sucked to give help with the 1517 through the cockpit so legally for the moment Williams will stay we'll see how it plays out Jase really I'd go right at wheels right now try to get the fourth man try to get the fourth so you got to be active in the post against it right now they switch on the inside to need on the brink of the technical is winging Gabriel we're moving screen here literally outside rounded minded as Gabriel and Williams collided I was big for Tennessee I'll tell you that could have been for Williams instead it's three on Gabriel we've had four consecutive turnovers two on each team the last four possessions [Music] it's been that kind of a night except really for the last four minutes of the first half Scofield rises up for a jumper and James's Alexander rises up for a rebound he's been doing it all just the rib clanks open people green yes he's playing those two guys together why do I agree Gill juice alexavic good things seep the half that water on the floor that you know and it's funny you go back to December Hama to Diallo might have been their best player he's what not big right now he's on the band's next edge this Alexander the green a full dropping to their feet while you seven billion production you produce you're gonna plot you don't reduce gonna sit the field assistant copepod [Applause] everybody's fired up nothing like point production I think that happens don't be fired up [Applause] Vanderbilt's got a mismatch to try to get it to him bouncing pushes him out almost to the three-point line though he's very limited offensive yeah he's about to around the basket later the shot clock running down [Applause] turn it back to bone and oppress 30 now for the balls neither club did a lot of transition limits more clubs one alone get back defensively move I like the movement again they're not a big ball screen seem like so many teams are right now coach Barnes talking about it at practice today he said it's deep cutting keep moving swing the ball get everybody involved you really don't want about function Stoke they kept it alive but gabriel's who still wants to join you look sweet talk these are the chocolate I like it coach Calipari press conferences this week here it is asking the fans here in Lexington asking all Kentucky fans but specifically the ones in the building to help this team to get loud and support this team we asked a walk by ban dissemble a through this you see what see here the trying to convince that understand how we need them he's done an amazing job here he'd say they think about the players you mentioned earlier then avoiding that he looked raw and it won't just wakes up beyond when it doesn't like sooner pie the way could fire up let me get her at their attention open looks Tokyo struggling shoot the ball [Applause] steal in and out for ballin alexander battling to the reader [Music] you talk about tenacity you look what aggressiveness you think about being asked oh come on that is legit baby it's rivalry [Applause] in the SCC catsup three on the balls [Applause] [Music] [Applause] watching the SEC on ESPN Kentucky 38 Tennessee 35 second half given Rupp Arena in the huddle John Calipari wired percent Kevin step Kevin wait screams wait screams way to go well great screen to Nick Richardson how about Nick was for the screen that got nuts the dunk on the inbounds play so you know some weeks he's been really tough on them and some weeks he hasn't been as tough and this feels like one of the not tough weeks because he feels they need a pat on the back more than a kick in the behind well he told me that this morning NFL he said I'm gonna be really lovable should we ask the players of his low possesses why he's full of the begun bow two knocks them down to make it a one-point game when you equate what he did at Massachusetts you bring them here where they got all the resources no shock what he has done with this program none whatsoever the ball in the hands of gilja's alexander on just about every possession for the wildcats keeps the dribble alive making good decisions shot fake not that was well done nearly well done great shot fake to create space squared his body really well I've seen them on TV dailies from our Tampa this kid is way better than what we said you saw it real Cox against what's the ginger 34 points in that comeback win against the Mountaineers so we could go Saturday hunson quadrant he's gonna get on a floor he was 6 for 8 coming off the bench he's meanwhile Tennessee going extended minutes now without grant Williams who went to the bench about three minutes ago with his third foul well he's trying to save up for the stretch Drive hopefully did you state hopes and they've been shopping at the offensive end ever since see right now your Kentucky you got to make that bang Williams on the sideline you got to really come here with his possession get a good shot I think we can see a little spurt by Knox sometimes you make that one little jumper going driving pull-up and a one-handed rebound ripped down of ice go field that's a major league rebound he's got some body what a physical specimen the Admiral yeah if you and I combined tried to arm-wrestle that guy Wow no shot goodbye you mean three of our friends well Conner Williamson Greenberg no shot Admiral wins I could have one trusted with Rosie O'Donnell new to the business Schofield banks it home and it's a one-point game off the glass tile let get away just hanging it till if you get waivers back on that floor [Applause] I've been John stuffing bacon newsagent quite a green honestly I really did stoop I guess Alexander he thinks things happen he likes to make big plays not afraid had the 30 point game you mentioned the kids day of the boat they needed the ball that was an incredible lucky win two seconds to go foul 65 feet from the goal and it tied the game off the go - Oh chill with it he's just got nice pace to him he's got a way of getting where he needs to get as Bowden knocks down a three to tie the game at 42 7 for Bowden and a trio of Wildcats of the scores table including quad a green tell you one thing when your guys like Bowden him who could make the three that's such a lift for a coach it gives you that momentum he gets everybody fired up on that steel guy still defensively oh yes he enjoyed the three but he liked that too just as much yeah five quick points without him and Williams getting ready to check back in so you say on momentum Kentucky and all of a sudden a three is steal a dunk and Tennessee's got the least this would be a major win on a road if Tennessee need Kenneth to sleep contestant Wow look at that made by Josh Alexander he's doing it all he's doing it all people like McKenna or jumping with John let's say he's one of ours baby oh he's making people grow is he organ teaching he's learned a lot of playing time he produces he hardly comes out ever since the green injury this Alexander took over he hardly leaves the floor bowed and misses the three Richards with a good rebound has played by riches he's given up a lot of healthier than Sunday looking for the lead and Knox is fouled before the shot but not 8:25 to go it's tied Breen and Williams back in Knox misses the front end pivotal miss you know we keep saying my young kids the island the store last shoe at the team right so he's not really a true freshman he's been experiencing has not produced kwatak green pasture done good looks for Schofield not there and Richards another rebound good minutes in the second half for Nick Richards yeah very possible since screens rebounded do the things they would like the big guy to do eight rebounds in the game Wisconsin tuckered out he was an explorer on that school movement Knox way off on the three Tennessee's on [Applause] nobody bad transition defense tons very upset with that you got to get back defensively great leaked out by Tennessee excellent pass excellent finish it's the gayest Alexander so for Kentucky the you just went went to go get boys cannot be happy the fact nobody stopped he's gone I mean he's keeping of where we are right now Thank You silence anthem and he's a beauty pea he's the three US special Canadians nominees she's doing can't abandon so are you back to Sir William spins was great feel understand orange team it is that pot that basket is still shaking that RIM is still shaking after that Jam win or lose this is a quality Tennessee team got a lot of people are gonna want to see during March Madness timeout Kentucky with 640 to go trading buckets here in the second half Wildcats Williams finds his buddies Schofield no doubt about that one [Music] actors thank you looking forward to that one alone we tikki be here at Rupp Arena good game here heating up in the second half of your you put your reporters head on that got some breaking news right yeah a little news right here hey I just got a text message I got a text message that Michael Porter Jr was dunking slam dunking after the shoot around and quad players what an unbelievable boost that would be from Missouri and for the SEC meanwhile two-point lead Tennessee six and a half to go Tennessee tried to take both regular season matchups from Kentucky for the first time in 18 years and they've lost ten in a row in this building say here's where coach and staff shows you who really the guys they can even trust Richards keeps it alive out of bounds to Kentucky i Northwestern Mutual's we'll go back to Dickie B's keys at the beginning of the game Tennessee getting it done very efficient in the paint not shooting the free well normally they do Kentucky seven assists on 16 field goals better than recently still not nearly where John Calipari wants it but he's got to be happy with what a great really significant heat Kentucky ball down by two don't forget the job that reduces don't keep the ball to God rebound second half [Applause] he's just not afraid to big plays man we'll just Alexander corner to Washington ten to shoot Richards 15 clutter and good seal there by powder he's got huge although we won't see their woof another Tennessee offensive sets and away from the wall a foul on Richards who's rejecting a fishing well guys for Tennessee it is all about finishing strong and plays together here the foul not on Richards it was on Washington his fourth PJ Washington the bench has got only two points to stay one thing right now this club here struggling should've reached a depth work the 19th very good 14% as a team on the season this game could come down to the charity strike hilly cam you want to put the ball in the hands of this guy right here Shay kill just how exactly you just can't speed him up [Applause] - you get better with these two guys - together we good for silence and Green out there balls loose and the [Applause] between Gabriel Mallick Sangha that everybody's okay [Music] in genetics honey Richards on that please Oh [Applause] we have cow look at calculate ants on inside why do you think he's hurting these chaps tonight six team foul on consecutive Sun puts the balls on the line oh and it held up they how Williams has you tied to the goal gonna have a layup that was a good home as he had himself a layup they got good point saving a lot of functional offensively Tennessee and that's the fourth on Gabriel so Washington who's got four is gonna come back informed okay one thing that that an excellent job though Kentucky contending wins I've seen leaves what I'm telling you he is so efficient with he gets the ball inside [Music] 74% free throw shooter he knocks down the first she was always very poised pretty calm I love quality respect that was [Music] on the insert 4.4 Tennessee then we stayed for this guy this guy wants a create some penetration notes amazing about this game yet and I guess it's been long story and it's a trillion cystic pawn for sport the old game has been played in a 7-point window Tennessee hasn't led by more than for Kentucky hasn't led by more than three and it is indeed the fourth foul on grant Williams so each team of the key player with four Washington for Kentucky Williams for Tennessee Gabriel's got four for Kentucky's well he's on the bench I'm gonna take him out take about four game - yeah he's gonna take him out and they go small Admiral Schofield now boots really into the power forward position which he played a lot last year playing more on the wing this year and they got Alexander the big guy as well free throw lines can be big here and a big free throws this guide the line is one of the guys Coach Calipari believes today's enough speed goes out you don't see the ILA on the floor he's like neither started talking about preseason bone gets the switch van de Velde autumn put the scripture now Richards arms baseline jumper back there Kentucky can tie or take the lead hey whooping wanted reads always it in the tack boat he's too nice lo ha what great luck green just a little bit short they got the shot egg want to play butter - excellent [Applause] [Music] [Applause] keep it down we should have in a day fifteen things Ben Stiller's children with Russian one [Music] he'll fit game big game right now Kentucky needs this w6 and for maybe that the psychological reasons are home they don't lose too often on his floor in that they eat it in this Chris thank you time now to take a look at who's flipping the switch brought you by boost mobile and it's been quite the shift he really has make some mistakes along the way that I would find out with that kick Williams back game for Tennessee with porpouse dance to add one more [Music] to get that stock up 8 of his 10 in the second half thousand baseline Richards has to come over and give the bow well good foul by Richards great job rotating over he ended up getting a little layup right there get a layup is the riches cam over gonna make them convert on the free-throw line [Applause] what do you think so it's been a diet of my year what great game after her mother did well in the big 12 SEC challenge the waters of the channel very friendly bounce to her for Bowden to make it a one-point game they scored on the advance of the ball he's very calm he's timid the boy Shae coaches Alexander was not panicked at the ball he wants it he has great vision here's a terrific size he looks over the defense and draws the foul the bigger up one to go up three here he's 83% on the season James Smith spot a floor he came here he produced and got himself the way he is become a catalyst finished Eli you can make good case he's their most indispensable well tuxedo Sergi case john calipari certainly getting the noise he was asking for although Bauder no quiet and just a bit having a tough time don't get the ball inside to Williams he's really having a difficult time Kentucky's done an excellent job keep it the walk away from Williams has attempted only three shots no stance a marketable one for threes got eight parts of the song stripped there [Applause] to stay in front of the good stuff to do against there in front of them things happened and it draws another foul but guys shoot in the 80s going to the line hover the ball in their hands late in the game he has become the star of stars by the jacks sixth man at the beginning of the year but got starters minutes 20 Barbie doing a little coaching outside line coach John Calipari riches got taken down and he's slow to get up and the officials they stop play banks Network she even said as he went to the touch John Calipari saying look at the monitors if maybe there was a forearm or an elbow or something in there you can see there's the motion he says he got a forearm shiver and we'll see if the officials decide to have a look [Music] those don't sit there now not whatsoever they cannot go to the monitor when there was no fall and say that's a common foul they can say there's a flagrant foul but I don't think there's anything there's no I don't see any flagrant but what's 11 10 game leasing street here if they way tonight last idea what it was 2006 mr. basketball at Kentucky be the puss walk through the 31 7 freeze inside two minutes to go in a one-possession game they want to give to Williams you look at his plane and try to get window and [Music] I'm the one telling so alien strike his heel up to the post area ready bit of a denial down there the post of fellow he really spritz that body well he uses that rear and white body snow did he gets wrong I love the fact that it gets down city girl all so he could explore each day Washington back in and try him on Williams he's 1/4 ounce they both got 4 [Applause] [Music] [Applause] we said free throw line it's gonna be big Tennessee a perfect 7 of 7 from the line in the second half nervous time for Big Blue Nation hillocks time trucks positive in all kinds of here be Texas A&M buy one here back in January the ball went on their favor Vanderbilt in overtime Florida lost by two an oak ball that went against them every games gone down to the wire it seems here I don't know if I've ever done a game where the whole games been played in a seven point window Tennessee hasn't led by more than four Kentucky has led by more than four gets moved in here pushed off a little bit he knocks it down [Music] tell me what he's not afraid to make the coins I really love you scared got word that was bad so Alicia Scofield thought about it makes it and please gather the rebound for Kentucky as we comes a deep shot I'm not sure loved his bones one snapshot about secrets will if he killed your salads and her off the dribble again 20 turned it over a rare mistake tonight for shame gives his Hallett sander he's a great shot to flick kick that ball will be put into the Chuck and Rick I'm kiddin inside the Williams is going to be one more activity close willing diverse be sending a very stout of the post to get the ball to them he was she went didn't miss them wide open oh what a big freedom jumping with joy oh now will Kentucky call a timeout or not looks like John Calipari is gonna let that play she would kill chase Alexander he's gonna try to win it right here he's in some trouble mr. tiller this could be a June you know extended Veloz two possessions killed you silence and I found a brilliant day he tried to create stuff that was too damn games not over yet and four seconds three point game see right now I do not let them shoot the free up even though were van schreeten will revisit that at the moment also after the turnover by Gillis Alexander It was as if everybody stopped playing accepts don't feel gunned down the board got the long pass and dumped at home good called and right this game is not over they've got four point one and A three ties it but you're saying and then we get to the moment here's Turner and he was looking for options the shot clock was running down and he just buried well he's a little fencing the sheath off the bench minute see right here they turned the ball over I'm telling you now if you're Tennessee him to slap you don't want them to shoot the foot so you found you found absolutely I I saw the game on Oklahoma with Troy Aikman company got beat think of the thrills Oklahoma State there's a think I've just gotta be careful obviously not to do to me active shooting on it now earlier than that so coaches offices were kinda out of practice I mean that's gonna be a party of fresh special teams some choice now Rick Barnes who used to timeout by the way how much fun was it bad on those last two possessions before all this neither coach call the timeout that's cool orange let him play and then John Calipari let them but what weeds does down a lot both cos two different philosophies sup believe it want to control the play on this one the play that happened with the flow and again SportsCenter coming your way a little bit later on tonight after Michigan State Iowa here on ESPN as we some tears on their look at the big blues oh they're not a happy looking group right there why they're struggling very simple number one that not as talented as they've been in the past the two the league is a lot tougher than in the past let's watch right here what they did length on the ball for Tennessee and Alexander Vanderbilt will inbound will Tennessee foul put some pressure on to take some time off that clock Washington gives us Alexander and they do foul before the shot with 0.8 left so if you're Rick Barnes one that went about as well as it could go really well coach Rick Barnes has been around the block fan he's what wherever he's been he's won when he was at Texas Providence did a great job Clemson about in his fouled out it's a big-time win if they get this way Tennessee the sweep Kentucky and the beat up here at Lexington but they knew they were gonna get their best shot because let's face it John Calipari has a way of death emotion out of people especially after a loss and the officials at the monitor again and I would imagine this is to confirm how much time should be on the cup salute goes point-eight 1.2 for a huge difference obviously so we'll take a look and see if they put any time back on Kentucky once all they can get now the critics of Fallot will say watch out he misses the foul rebound scores bow is right about there I don't know I I think they got it I think it's pretty Huck yeah I don't think they're putting much on a penny don't forget Thursday at 8 o'clock Eastern here on ESPN college basketball's best rivalry will any time be put back on I don't think the show up to 1.33 how did he get that 10 so did that Kentucky likes that so first things first Gill juice Alexander looking to knock down the first free throw I don't creep that at all I don't agree with that at all and now the job for Tennessee belongs to Williams and Alexander to try to block out and not like Kentucky get this offensive region tribus totally duped absolutely one of great whickering Lawrence and his kids tenacious tongue 20 year 913 predicted preseason the SEC divvy up right there in second Wow for the first time since nineteen Tennessee beats Kentucky twice of the regular season and they did it it was a battle here tonight it wasn't a masterpiece it was a gritty affair and Tennessee taken advantage of those two late turnovers Schofield with the big slam and the Vols win at 61 259 to move the 8 and 3 in the SEC did a tremendous job defensively down the stretch they really contained at the end shade Gill just alexander who was brilliant for the entire game he had quite agreed unbelievable Allison Williams is standing by thank you Dan to ask you what was it like in those final minutes coaches don't call the timeouts the clock is winding down you're able to get the shot off what's it like to able to play first of all I'd like to give all glory to God you know without God then this would be possible but I mean the closing minute is you know Coach trust me with the ball of my hand so you know he looked at me we made eye contact he knew another car town now and that was everything like down the side what was it like playing in such a tightly contested game from start to finish yeah it was a good game you know we expected a fight you know Coach Cal you know he's really pushing this guys to compete and I think they really did a great job of a pin you know there's a great game we knew it's gonna be a dogfight come here man we was ready certainly was this is the first time since 98 99 that you have swept the season series of Kentucky what does that mean for your team and say about your program I mean we just you know Coach always talking about standard we just trying to you know raise our standard or continue to just compete and you know focus on one game at a time you guys it's great to come in here to get a win I know we haven't won here in a long time you know so it feels good come
