[Music] game two of the CBS Sports classic two of the blue bloods in college basketball and I got what it takes to I am a wi I in any circum I a wi the tar Hills of North Carolina is going to jam it in Tri nothing but that are you kidding me with the two-handed hammer and the wild cats of Kentucky Reeves for three got it run away don't get me under am a winner I Prevail in any circumstance I am a winner what a way to end our triple header Hoops Saturday on CBS game two of the CBS Sports classic and it might be North Carolina and Kentucky both ranks in the top 15 getting together for the 43rd time rft and I have been together probably twice that often but it's always fun when these two teams get together uh rer this is ready off up the John Kerry Frank McGuire you're graded by conference championships and national championships that's all they did you know for Kentucky we've seen in the past that Cal has gone to kind of a different lineup he's gone back to the future now all freshman almost uh they are so talented though he's so accustomed to putting together they're going to add Aaron Branch to the list today but L your dribble Drive course re sheeper comes in advances the ball but this is the guy I think if they're going to do some damage come March uh terrific kid around the rim from block some shots maintains his position obviously can finish with the best of them in that low post area well he's going to have to go against some of the best in the low post area he's the newcomer Armando bott's been around a long time and he does so many good things Armando with his offensive rebounding diving to the Box really presents himself and they get it to him they run all direction to get him either back screens or ball screens diving to the rim you can see the numbers just utterly fantastic we take a look at our AT&T fast analysis raap and I'm telling you RJ Davis is on a tear right now unbelievable the way he's been playing a terrific use of the ball screen refuses it can finish at The Rim you notice bot always gets to the rim the horns set one goes left for a pin down ball screen dive good hands the ability to finish at that Rim You Like Glue gu on the other side don't you I do Trey Mitchell so many areas of the floor that he can dominate understands the game very patient in a low post but the pick and pop the ability to get the puppies organized Mitchell for a trade both team 7 and two Carolina number nine Kentucky number 14 second of our CBS Sports classic games to wrap up our Saturday is on [Music] Deck the CBS Sports before we tip it we check in court side third member of our team is Jenny Dell Jenny well guys it's been one hurdle after another for Kentucky sophomore ugana on yenzo he was set to make his return first practicing for the first time in 5 months after dealing with foot surgery and that was until the stomach bug hit him just two days ago so an yenzo wasn't even able to travel in with this team stayed back in Lexington to rest up but as you can see the big man has arrived flew in this morning we should expect to see him for 5 to 10 minutes of game action guys Coach Cal said that he was just in quick to PHA on y Enzo's work ethic he said it's going to be really huge to get him back in this game that's good to have him back that's for sure for Kentucky Hubert Davis from North Carolina former great player now in his third year as the head coach of North Carolina and there's his starting five and the youngsters for Kentucky and John caliper there's Hubert great player in his huddle 56 and 25 12 seasons on the toar heel stat though and now in his third year as a head coach and the Hall of Famer John caliper his 15th season in Lexington raft you asked me earlier George Hill our Hall of Fame statistician looked it up Chapel Hill is 379 mi from Atlanta Lexington is 380 mi from Atlanta so as the two different colors of blue filled into State Farm Arena I'd say business is about to pick up I would think so I'm sure will be watching it the respective homes as well Kelly fiper Courtney green Patrick Evans our officials the two Big Fellas about to get us underway our triple header day on CBS comes to game three red ni right now K go a little manto man against DJ Wagner The Sensational freshman will run the point for the Wildcats very busy on the offensive end going side to side shuffle cut pin down dribble exchange ratcha the guy that rap talked about in the open making his first start and making his first mistake this is what I was talking about 43rd meeting Carolina leads it 25- 17 in the CBS Sports classic Kentucky is three and one against North Carolina I look for Bott to get a lot of touches it'll bump they need him to start making shots didn't make the first one kept alive maybe through it off a good play hustled by Bott but he is a very good offensive rebounder as well smart play the greatest rebounder in North Carolina history that's saying a lot of course with all the greats now he's been around a little bit longer being a grand student here he is you just upset Billy C down in Jupiter I know didn't take long did it tough pass and Carolina throws it away so each team with an early turnover he can drive it though come back Bryan pretty aggressive play here a little dribble drive forc him put on they know he is known as a shooter Zend D dve Wagner picked up his dribble but got rid of it it's important now Bradshaw Blends in now cuz they've had a nice run playing smaller with Mitchell as the [Applause] fiveman RZ going to take it from the free throw line a little bit short rebound [Applause] Bott B always gets to the box at some point nice hands [Applause] Mitchell I like this kid doesn't turn it over P eight on the shot clock and another turnover think that time clocked it up he is good in the open floor Wagner off the window he is tough strong too little different than the first game would you say speed [Music] yep in the paint trying to feed Bott underneath did a little too deep with the dribble to make that kind of pass surprised Bott hasn't posted up a little bit more right here lucky to get back good hustle Bradshaw last Touch by Bradshaw so Baseline in for North Carolina go to work now loves that little Right Hook when he gets the drop sh goes there it is interesting to see Brad Shaw can muster up physicality on that end of the floor [Applause] three-pointer short C with the rebound in the outlet oh he said I think the referee was out of bounds but it hit him Davis couldn't handle it now should have given it up earlier too RJ in the open [Applause] floor the range he has we got to give it to ear earlier right think Edwards on the curl Bo let left hand pull up his pretty big time knock down Justin Edwards for his bucket nice block shot on the other end numbers Edwards with the block Edwards with the drive and think Ingram fumble it what a speed puts the pressure on your transition defense both ends of the flooor you see a lot of open looks if you don't get back and make contact Ingram knocked it out so Kentucky ball Wagner into Reeves the veteran of the group nice hands by Davis though Reeves driving the ball better we know he can make the shot but right here heut just setting him up nice balance nice and easy got to root him out of there and that's the problem I think Brer might have both teams just a little nervous or something to start the game it's like working with you again Bradshaw gets caught that's what I thought they would do out of the game Bott just loading up that presence a little weaker right here they love that back screen get the big guy to the box and he did use some arms but that's experience theyig CAU with a little veteran move pulling the pants down undetected H we saw it [Applause] one guy had listed at 6111 at 71 but you can see the girth the muscle side on the veteran they're using hidden follow on the out of bounds he is Davis he made nice tip thought he might be tipping at to Bott K rather Ryan knocked that out of bounds stay in the no CBS Sports HQ the 247 free network that brings you the latest news pick scores and highlights from all the sports you love watch CBS Sports HQ anywhere anytime all the time automatic switching on the perimeter Shephard on the floor now choreographer really gets them going too here's BR outside got it so now bat has the Dilemma can I come out and play him only a second three-pointer but that was a pretty one nice curl there he goes stepp he's had a little trouble shooting and Hubert Davis said he's just got to shoot him shoot his way out of it ybert experience that way gr he didn't get a slum too long in his [Applause] day Mitchell posting up now he's got a nice mismatch good footwork turn around jumper he's going to keep it underneath try to feed the post to Bradshaw knocked out of there by B nice gift here look at this Advance get a great look as of Davis now Reeves on the dribble lobs it inside and the flush for breta that was a difficult pass nice trajectory L the big fella right to the 10 pretty much what we expected for the opening five minutes up and down we go those got to be careful Shephard very good defensively with the hands oh big Collision underneath I think Ingram gets detected going to be a lot of winded guys come commercial break now they can catch their breath 1517 to go first [Music] half and the other how about this little Loop pass BR beautiful nice recovery everybody spread ring the bell big time big [Music] fella Wednesday on CBS it's the Survivor season finale who will outwit outplay Outlast best and the rest you can find out on Survivor season finale Wednesday 87 Central on CBS and streaming on paramont plus happy early holidays everybody from Atlanta and this this might be the Survivor dri of this game no doubt now they have not been living by the three as of late Jenny said oh no Craig silver a producer said why shooting so many threes this year Cal said because we're making them we we've got guys who can make him too and course the way they push the ball they are getting Great Looks shorten the floor Shephard in particular does a great job well they only have one three so far but it was from the big man and it was pretty only his second one of the year there's that ISO at the fine the elbow Dillingham he knocks it out I love this Ki two-pointer just inside the three-point line he's so good getting the lane too just great off the bounce besides his ability deep Carolina goes in front by seven early left hand pretty Doug is smiling some place is Daddy roic known as a deep shooter took advantage with the Bounce roic Off the Bench you immediately in the scoreboard a Mitchell fouled roic f for the Box watching the tape Sparling w a little bit with the three but he really understands the game in depth of knowledge is it that house hole right here just really banging and hanging tough with it get Mitchell off the Box little out of control but it almost went for Withers that's his game too banging you he and Ingram do a great job simulating post UPS not too bad a maneuver there as he gets into the lane you can see the hands very active by Kentucky as well so going to the free throw line as Jaylen Withers transferred over from Louisville he understands that low post too there a little spin out in the lane the North Carolina native out of Huntersville North [Applause] Carolina the arrow on the floor now well he put some weight on I mean good athletic [Applause] weight got them [Applause] both re Shephard out there a sensational freshman can make trees almost turned it over here Up and Under is he amazing around the rim ad do thearrow how do you do a do huh that three rims [Applause] [Music] out straight up with it oh three won't go for Dillinger just the way Shepherd gives the ball up I love it this is where they're going to go for the bread and butter Bott trying to back in on Bradshaw nice job on the double team on the help yeah nice stunt Arrow now bot's got the move he wanted still two guys on it and he threw it away good foul good [Applause] foul they have not come with a stunt but right here just a really good activity to help out Jam him up with the double and then jump in that passing Lan but the arrow goodness he is something getting around that Rim some serious hops here had the dunk against Kentucky state are over here [Music] what now the chance will go big blue as they have a five-point lead here 6 and 1/2 minutes in which big blue I'm a little in that case it was the Kentucky [Applause] Blue it's pretty oh what a lead by Wagner a nice set up do you go and play the dribbler or do you stay at home on the dunker rad Shaw the guy that rft wanted to take a look at individually in the open has already got seven and another turnover and a watch thisy Dillingham oh look out that's a flag yeah it should be roic's first one wasn't that one was or could be that's an easy call trying to trap the arm but any time you get the double on [Applause] it a hand on the back as well all on the floor the foul looking for a possible Flor one well yubert is Furious saying he gave a hard foul I think it's an easy call would you agree I [Applause] would didn't really look like a basketball play to me although I understand what North Carolina fans are thinking building him in the open floor is amazing [Applause] too so the officials continue to take a look at this here from up on [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] top and we're going to find out and flr one I we got a flr one foul two shots at the ball down got it that was easy it was player at one two shots and the ball down there as we get one final look at it would have better serve just to let him score know it's a hustle Play No maliciousness involved rbert Davis is not happy now you got to fight for your player I agree with that so we got free throws coming up for Rob dingham special player too you can say that about a lot of Kentucky guys over the years you especially being a North Carolina native out of Hickory this game I'm sure means a lot to him you knows from Hickory RI PS oh right that's right you know he's not from Brooklyn you've talked to him haven't you yes the Freshman averaging 14 a game good free throw shooter I had just a nice little play that little dribble hand off screen your guy a lot of times that's called a foul if he got hooked up sometimes guards just run into the guy collaps it bust up nice run by Kentucky here will stretch it out to a nine-point lead and the wall ao's in there aneno that uh Jenny told us might play he wasn't at the practice yesterday the shoot around but came in on his own as Jenny told you off the Baseline air ball with's trying to post out this where Ingram's tough you got to stay at home because he finds opposite like that nobody out there on Withers and he air mails one to the backside now Shephard with the rebound and the outlet to Wagner on the run all the way left hand pull down by Withers for that chess pass by shepher he gave that opportunity at the rim and now on yens referee welcoming him with one he picks one up in a hurry is the season for streaming on paramont plus don't miss live sports like Super Bowl 58 original series like Frasier and lawmen bass Reeves and new movies like good burger too don't delay your M holiday of paramont plus streaming now and watch streaming now is Davis on this play if he hits and follows that's what they do get it back to him just like rap called it but the shot short follow is not nice adjustment Jaylen Washington his first [Applause] basket sheer the hook pass to the outside nice ball Movement by the cats and the finger roll no good yo got away with one give it up RJ Davis going to take the jumper off the break pretty good defensive transition by Kentucky [Applause] Wagner resets it out on top plays the pick and roll [Applause] beautifully there's an open three and goes how about the arrow huh the arrow and the arrow 10-point lead two of seven right now from Deep for the year at three no good up high for the rebound is Dillingham no can he Elevate he really [Applause] can shepher try triple that [Applause] time but these kids got some Petro don't they do they ever Kau a little hesitation that lost it in the paint tough catch for the big guy ball still loose finally Carolina comes up with Davis long three got it under earring getting the morganized scramble pretty good recovery guy that's led the toar hills in scoring for five straight games RJ Davis hooks up for his first basket he's had a sensational year thus far Shephard from 15 got it didn't even move the net just that extra dribble see where the defender got hooked up Davis looking for more had it swatted out of there and we got a wh the foul Washington I believe boy they are leaving it out talk about March Madness huh December craziness both of them getting after Brad how about that Kentucky D some great moves up and under and the flush by Bradshaw 2213 Wildcats k jumps out to a 2213 lead moments ago halfcourt shot you've seen this all over the place you don't see many go and that was a standing ovation for that young man obviously a Tar Hill [Applause] fan Carson Vargas we understand a young Fell's name that brought the house down rap I missed it I was doing something else let's check in with Jenny speaking of the tar Hills RJ Davis and Armando B ditch the NBA draft for another run with UNC now this off season the two spoke in depth about the decision to return both sighting unfinished business as a main factor Davis also wanted to fulfill his promise of getting a degree to his mom Vanessa so guys from making it to the National Championship in 20122 to missing the tournament last season Davis and Bott they want to rewrite this script together giving their all to try to finish out on top yeah after that run two years ago they came in preseason number one and things didn't go well in a 20 to and 20 and 13 record last year and no NCAA t as Jenny said so unfinished business and we'll see how they do off to a seven and2 start and ranked in the top 10 had a heartbreak with that ankle injury for Bott a couple years ago too MH lot of new faces on the floor tremble for one set tremble to sophomore offense fake only like big guys to get that kind of f now the dribbler could have started quickly didn't let him get set but you don't like these and he didn't have to move it's the drier's fault if he doesn't set his guy up just don't lean that shoulder yep Midway Point first half Kentucky in command so [Applause] [Music] far Wagner back to Brad thought about another three that mitell be the center on that particular run couldn't get it into there's Reeves on the dribble six0 shoot long ball he can make those as we know big rebound MIT going up for it foul on the [Applause] rebound think it was high underneath that got tagged with it he's a complete player Mitchell does all the Talking Too both ends of the floor two his team Bradshaw he's still savoring that three-pointer and he's thinking about another one I can tell you you might get the yank if he did or don't reach in like that they got what they want the post up Wagner inside left hand got it didn't need it oh he is a great driver look at the blow by in a look there's an open three and it goes so that's what they were hoping cormack Ryan would produce starting today and he had he didn't get back and cover his guy though not going to matter Carolina got the rebound off the Miss B got to the box now inside with a finger roll and Bop made the play ran the floor pined his man a little dribble Drive the Notre Dame transfer off to an eight-point start here early can Mitch that one's off the third Drive won't go either if they got Ryan underneath did they yeah I think so it'll be his first a big fella getting those puppies up and down right to the rim gets himself set and just the ability to seal off Seal his guy control so Justus Edwards three points on the games had six double figure games so far this year strong impressive kid good offensive rebounder as well can step out make it three High goes out Ingram comes back [Applause] in you know I think of Lefty Kevin gevy that going back talk about a good shooter right away the full court [Applause] pressure giv as well right Goose given Goose doing the radio with Tom leech yeah I think Jim Sparco remembers him he whack St pretty good if you remember aott loses the handle Reeves Coast to Coast missed the shot there's a short Lefty and now Carolina comes out they got guys in front but he's just going to go to the rack he's on a roll cormack Ryan takes it from one end to the other lead down to six game first half down to eight nice cross and roll Bradshaw kind of lost the handle going up with the left hand Bott was right in his face Wagers does such a good job running ball screens but Carolina blue in the open floor they can be devastating give it up ran goodness why not finish [Music] yourself game summary and Kentucky taking advantage of turnovers suffered by North Carolina seven in the games turn it into 10 points guy that wrapped highlighted in the open Aaron Bradshaw has had a good start oh he's done a really nice job that's a a ball screen dive to the rim and here stepping up how about that four for seven from three early on and little dribble hand on roll of the rim by the big p pretty basketball norack Ryan has the last seven points for North Carolina mentally that's going to make him feel good DJ Wagner will inbound on the Baseline for [Applause] Kentucky little horns look rall screen rolls to the Box they C manhy Bradshaw Dillingham on top and that one won't go good hustle got it back three-pointer Bradshaw keeps it alive but lost the handle pretty and Ryan made that work by running the lane Bradshaw's hurt on the other end what a good job filling the lane froze the defense CAD get to the rim bro says I'm okay as he looks to the Kentucky bench here's what happened I think he got an elbow from Bott well welcome to the big time huh look at that Ryan just froze that te made the middleman play both good player doesn't turn it over Kentucky had a 10-point lead it's been cut down to four as we we approach the seven-minute mark of the first half Reeves had a little Avenue they closed out in a hurry that's where he's gotten better Brad just not the three-point shooter anymore out of bounds here [Music] Davis too many North Carolina turnovers right now mark your calendars for the new year because CBS Premier week is bringing back your favorite shows and some new ones as well starting right after Super Bowl [Music] 58 like that point forward mentality initiates the offense a lot this is where he is tough either finishes or get down little they got to walk yeah Davis using the feet getting in the [Applause] spot John caliper saying give it up what you put the brakes on for get rid of it before you walk a little [Applause] contact oh North Carolina with a little spurt oh Bott didn't have to move the shoulder did the same thing again yeah that that was his fault you know what I think a lot of these kids watch the NBA where they give them a little more license look at the feeders spread beyond the shoulder which happens a lot but the shoulder hurt him that might be it for Arondo in the first half takes away the Rhythm yeah it sure does really good control at that position is as well Washington on the floor now getting more and more minutes playing better and better too they 0 for their last nine from the floor now they're going to go to the free throw line going to be a fing Pau he's like shocked on that particular [Music] play so dillingham's going to go back to the strip feeling he's getting the short end to some of these calls Rob doing G who misses his first free throw played overtime Elite here in Atlanta that's where Kentucky practiced yesterday and he and Jordan Burks and had to feel pretty comfortable on those floors that's where they spent last year was and C felt pretty comfortable [Applause] too two players like [Applause] that May got that ability outside or dribble to the Lane create some Havoc what a good addition he's been like watching this kid play came over from Stanford and now he's got a chance for a three-point play right here yeah he makes plays he's a good passer can bounce it can back you down with a little bully ball brat Shaw going to come out for the rest of the half two now was his second the way coaches are doing it lately I would suggest they can play a little smaller too with Bay cut out Ingram only about a 62% free throw [Applause] shooter Wagner all the way tipped in how about that play by Mitchell he doesn't soar but he just reads and understands Kentucky maintains a five-point cushion a six minutes to go first [Applause] half a nice little bump by washing this is where he's tough what a look nice Le oh what a block how about that diaro [Applause] activity open three doesn't go Davis with a rebound RJ let's see if he goes Coast to Coast he tries didn't get it but he's going to the line you better be in shape the way both these teams push the ball Davis can accelerate he can pull up at any time for a mid-range or a three and this the blowby almost gets to the kiss home one of those guys that might be faster dribbling than he is just flat out running how about him and a wise old low right there to been around RJ averaging 21 points a [Applause] game alltime wins look at the numbers tournament wins almost even final fours close titles kuy's got two more I think they deserve that logo don't you yeah for sure Davis rips them both five for RJ he is tireless too small ball out there right now Shephard at the point he's got a little Avenue knocks down the midrange Jumper in the lane knows how far to go picks that bounce up Shephard's got [Applause] four k oh should have shot it and it's going to be a foul on Dillingham a nice addition to the lineup really so many good things he can do gets this guy on his back not too deep for Washington can negate that opportunity how about over 3,700 points in high school pretty good Bloodlines wouldn't you say I would say m and dad dad was the MVP the what 98 final four two-time Champion mom was a, Point score Plus at Kentucky and I remember in Maui Jeff making a shot I believe against Arizona to win the tournament Jenny yeah so both the shepherd's parents as you just mentioned played college basketball Kentucky now Shephard told me his dream school was always Kentucky there was no other question he was always going to follow the footsteps of his parents and guys even though his dad has always been his coach and his workout partner he claims his style of play resembles his mom heard vice versa never let anyone outw you well Stacy taught him well then tell you that he paid attention too pay attention pay attention to your mother if Wagner makes that shot he is a tough out nice hand that's what he does great causes that problem that's all Hands by shepher he's led the team in steals more than anybody else this year quick feet gets in position attacks right there just a little reach in before Ryan can make that move to the [Applause] goal no possession arrow leaving it at 13 [Applause] [Music] yep Wagner getting a breather with his team up [Applause] seven and again shepher with a steal he's got help coming he knows it he's going to take the shot and he got it that's why he took the shot he knew Mitchell was going to be at The Rim talk about knowing the game thank you Mom DS always get the short drip back to a double digit lead for Kentucky on Caliper wow that got to gave him a te he was goodness I haven't seen Cal do that have you I haven't either almost looked like he got tangled up with the official though [Music] yeah now he just says forget about it guys Washington three for three on threes before that attempt John's still going though okay we see him way down to the corner [Applause] yeah and there he came on the court and I think at least touched the off Bruiser and [Applause] Orlando RJ Davis is 41 of 43 on the Year from the free throw line that's pretty good you can see why he doesn't even touch the rim no actually he's he's better than that I I forgot the two free throws he's already hit he's 44 out of 46 shame on you I [Applause] apologize and another look at C coming on the court down in the corner on the Baseline got to give him a take I mean that's that's the role he'll go back in [Applause] coach so cost him a couple of free throws but they're still up by eight at the four-minute [Applause] Mark they got what they want right here finally rolls to the hoop he's got Davis and good switch back by Ryan and a wraparound foul on Washington that'll be his second 3:45 till halftime cats by eight a boost off the bench with his defense and his offense defense there for the steel then the pull up three when he know he had help coming and he buried it and as Jenny said mom was made maybe the kind of player that he's more like like that shot from Stacy or maybe you and I did a lot of Daddy's games Jeff Shepard could take it inside outside could jump out of the gym well they needs a rebound there right think pretty good perimeter play there's the what Reed's done Off the Bench three out of four couple of steals right now his teammate ad the arrow at the free throw line the arrow with six Kentucky adjust to the The Bigs coming back they they are going to be a very tough out you talk about dads this guy's dad played for Cal at Memphis barries both free throws right away the pressure 10-point lead [Applause] again Carolina would definitely want to get this cut in half maybe as bott's back out there this 10-point lead they got to dwindle it a little bit before the break and I like like this they're going to use him you put him back in with the two use them and they did picks up the foul trying to play [Applause] Bey Armando going to the free throw line where couple of years ago we'd be saying he was not a great free throw shooter he's pretty good though now he has made 492 free throws so he's eight away from 500 got a lot better stroke too last year about 67 % this year about 79 right in there he was up in the 80s there for a while there you go looks a lot better it's a lot of work look at the numbers 73 double doubles the most rebounds in North Carolina history most double doubles Fifth and blocks closing in on 2,000 points he almost as many double doubles as you do dur the course of the Year okay now you said that not me Carolina comes up with ball Kentucky turn turnover number seven now RJ Davis draws a double team nice pump block wow Billingham straight up for three rims out Davis in a good spot for the rebound you see shepher how unselfish he is though what a pass oh oh and he's short armed it a little bit underneath got hurt too going to stop play Ingram's down yeah usually you Let It Go usually let the play finish if there's danger or somebody around that's why C and the staff are upset I think the that's just saying my fault that was not a good Landing no I think that's what Pat was worried about but most coaches like finish to play and we'll check fortunately he's good he shaking it off yenso got up there he kind of took one in the face too you got to bring it all strong right in both these games today you add to a low scoring game in the first of our two in the CBS Sports classic you missed it Ohio state will win over uccl La that one was physical and this one's physical for a couple of reasons it's up and down the floor and there as I said a yenso got one right in the cheek as well they said they stopped the play for players safety now if you're on the sideline you wouldn't buy that no I mean we we all commiserate and our concern but you so Kentucky with a nine-point lead and the ball oh over the top withs yeah trying to help bot Withers picks up the personal coming up AT&T at the half Adam Clark J Seth get you caught up on all the scores and highlights of a very busy day in college basketball including the showdown between Arizona and number three pres number one Arizona number three Purdue that's all coming up AT&T at the half 245 from now I'm sorry Clark I apologize I saw your son today helping out the program assistant to the head coach with Ohio State Nick he's in good [Music] hands Kentucky seven-footers games played this [Applause] season second one doesn't go and I I think it wanted to run and they always like to run as you noted earlier you got to have Shooters uh but is the adjustment I when you bring the big guys back keeping the pedal to the metal Davis the scoop shot got it tough [Music] [Applause] kid Oh I thought he had what he wanted with the dribble Bingham nice noow look pass right back over to Wagner back out to shepher he backpedals with 10 on the shot clock he's going to let it fly deep ball and Davis all alone for the rebound nice look Bott run the floor again this one might be too far in front of him it is good thought he felt they got pushed as well boy he can get him up and down though telling you I don't want to be a photographer on that under the floor today see if there's any contact on this one ooh there work hands well ball was out of bounds under two Shephard threw it away Davis Up and Under what a block didn't give up on the play for free second one he's rattled out of there well he go that thing there's Withers doing the same thing Davis trying to get around she hook pass got the open three and buried it for Ryan goodness I'm not so sure at the other end the hand didn't go through the rim on that block time out wants the timeout Co G Perry once a time out I should say well yubert showing a lot of emotion on that sideline he's fired up wants his guy to be fired up but both clubs can get up and down no clean block on that end Withers smacked it out of there Davis brought it and left it to the outside and the three is on its way oloy in the house Roy Williams three national titles the head coach from 2003 to 21 Hubert Davis took over from that point and I know he liked that last run R same guy when I met him years ago so proud of Hubert what he's been able to do wants it to continue they say it comes to games does it go to practices just a fan anymore Play Hack I carried him on the golf course many a time I I knew that was coming far from the truth so Kentucky was up 40- 30 five straight North Carolina points he's cut that lead in half Shephard and Wagner who've kind of had the SEC fresh of the weak hter seed up on the floor together here there that little action to get people busy defensively and open up shots like that jeer little bit short in the paint dribble has Ry and look at that he runs down and steals the ball but it's going to be out to North Carolina but what a hustle you got to pass the ball ahead you got Ryan in the corner and you give an opportunity for almost a steal this guy misses the shot and he comes down and does that he doesn't give up RJ will inbound on the Bas line gets it into Ingram Ingram trying to back in that's a dangerous spot that's what he does great though Feeds out of that box area open tremble that's only his fourth three of the year but it's huge cuts it to a two-point game Carolina on an 80 run in the last two minutes do a nice job denying the ball to [Applause] Shepard Reeves eight to shoot on the drive blocked Carolina with a chance to tie or lead before halftime he wants to time out ybert they'll take it with 14.7 seconds and a fired up tarel Bunch right now Bo you better come with a vest when you go to that classic a steel vest big guys down to a two-point game in Carolina some inside outside work graft on that last possession ah Ingram is so good attracting attention here's the overh help here guy who doesn't make many mistakes but he's going to pay for it Ingram excellent at going opposite with the ball I little nylon right here again you got to be real strong that got blocked twice yeah I think Ingram was the second yep so 14.7 remaining in the half now playing a little bigger Edwards on the floor I think you got to get Bon involved a little bit he's on the floor maybe a ball screen dive they run a box set where they back screen him to the opposite box let's see what they've got planned they have Trail North Carolina the entire half by as many as 10 on a couple of occasions eight to shoot RJ Davis going to work trying to find a little Avenue nice block shepher block shot Davis got it back hoists it that was blocked in rout byano goodness what an enjoyable full 20 both teams slugging it away Kentucky maintains its lead but Carolina definitely went on a run to cut into it nice job on defense right here the flip from behind by Shepard first and then big number 33 comes out and doesn't let the jump shot go heads up Play Nothing easy yeah might lost the so 4038 at the break and Jenny's backstage with John caliper coach quite the ending of that half there there's been so many fiery emotions going on how has this team been playing both ways both teams are really fighting and battling that's what this is about and then you got to hold your ground they try to bully you don't let them we try to bully they're not going to let us you're going to get fouled on on layups you can't hit the floor and stay there because it's a basket down the other end so that's what I got on a couple of them about we gave them two threes because of that so I'm proud of my guys they're fighting like heck you know you're talking about the youngest team or one of the you know and they're they act like they belong I'm proud of them congratulations Co well halftime in Atlanta the Kentucky bullies footy the the North Carolina bullies 38 we'll send you to zuk and Company in our studio for the AT&T at the half right after these messages in Atlanta State Farm Arena it's starting to rain outside it's starting to heat up inside as we take a look at our Sonic first half statistics and this one has been up and down the floor in a hurry 40 38 11-point lead at one time for the wild cats but North Carolina put a nice run together in the last couple of minutes and we got a ball game they sure did it it's interesting it's so heated I mean the involvement is everybody feels it's like March it is competitive Zeal on both ends mixed liners playing small call December Madness how about that oh cig silver comes up with so many spicy comments but look at this effort down and dirty leaving it all out you think you got an easy one at the rim with an old Euro Step get it out of time down huh just great basketball high level Jenny who ran down John caliper in the tunnel is with us now I think yes I am and I just spoke with Hubert Davis over there he said to be down double digits twice and then to come back and be in this position he's really proud of his guys but he said like any game and specifically a game like this to win this game we need to win in the trenches the Box outs the rebounds the loose balls think where we would be if we won that battle so that's the focus in the second half and of course he said we cannot continue to turn the ball over guys yep there was too many of those really on both teams the Uber Davis club right the great run to get it down to where we are right now at 4038 talk about things heating up it's about 85° in this building which is packed right now with Kentucky and North Carolina fans and I'm kind of glad it's raining outside now cuz I'm just going to walk out in the rain when this one's over cool things down they cool off a little bit right love the level of play though I think the two guard look has been effective for Carolina sizewise hasn't had an impact see if they can tie or lead for the first time Jak that keep him busy pin down ball screen got to get him inside though Ryan was their leading scorer in the first half with 12 finger roll off the window starts right where he started the ball game in the first half I'm more worried about Bott who drew the attention of [Applause] [Music] two it's the second tie of the game Wagner going up for three got it tell he's starting to make that shot boys that set up a lot of things for him 10 for [Applause] DJ Ryan's going to try to even it off that one's Off the Mark and he thought he had it too yeah he did almost a turnover here Reeves Tracked Down The Rebound he was held scoreless and he came in averaging 18 a game to lead Kentucky and he was over for four so he barely shot here he is with a ball in hand I think this is the kind of team where different people are going to lead different nice slip to the goal with the open Middle with Mitchell on the floor well now he's got a chance to score he's going to the free throw line boy Mitchell's so good really a good passer but conversely as you noted Ryan just that opportunity there at The Rim because Bott keeping people busy and right here getting the puppies organized out of Camden New Jersey so I mentioned Antonio Rees transfer from Illinois State scoreless until that one his first point then Force any issue though no hope for four struggle just a little bit and shot at three he's their leading three-point shooter he's had one in 20 straight games but his first two points come from the line only nine minutes that first half as [Applause] well Davis playing off the ball keeping busy with screens nice [Applause] cross tips Wagner comes out of the file good job by Reeves ooh look at that hesit he's driving much better still doesn't have a field goal but they get one on the baseline from Edwards yeah Justin good offensive rebounder too B cut having a picnic I thought Ryan was going up with another one but moves it back around he's been feeling it though in this game step into one here here it goes nope little strong and almost came back down through after going out of Bounds at the top glass first time I've seen b a little disgusted because he's loading up in the lane but just been the right spot here to tip the number one in your program but bot's got to get some Touches at the other end yep it's only got one field goal yeah not getting touches here settling deep Kentucky on a 70 run [Applause] Carolina tied it up with the first basket of the half but now it's been Kentucky seven straight Bay C nice rebound oh he's out of bounds again that's the second time RJ Davis has Steeps out of [Music] bounds K I guess he won't be in real estate huh not aware and that foot us see that's on the three in the corner step [Applause] back [Music] [Applause] over the back oh goodness he cot pushed it out of there they give him credit for at least forcing The Rebound in North Carolina's favor and now there's going to be a foul on Bradshaw coming down court with Bott and that's a Scouting Report though trying to do your homework early and right here I thought this was over the [Applause] back well maybe late but at the other end the they're running to the floor by Bott ratel trying to make sure you don't let him load up the one they called was not as rough as the one they didn't but at any rate he picks up the foul they are banging each other down there low again wow you think fatigue will become a factor at some point oh there's another give away by BR Shaw he's been pretty physical they were going at it down there that whole time and that's his fourth foul the second of this half you were so smart though why not take advantage of bay cut you mentioned the ability the bulk the Dury air all the things he can utilize to contain the defender so that is taken 7' one in Aaron Bradshaw off the [Applause] [Music] floor Davis has got to get available a little bit Ryan's three got it and nobody stepped out just a simple little ball screen taking advantage 17 for cormack Ryan the shooting woes that he's had recently have disappeared here in Atlanta well they have the Mitchell should be able to off rebound but they get the open look on the mismatch inside Reeves finally with a field goal has the answer for three on the other end Ryan is hunting the shots a little more is he here's Spott trying to hunt one of his own and loses it out of bound and what a play by Wagner from the top a late stunt on the double but right here you go under right now you better not go under and the former Notre Dame performer but right here you can just see the help off his leg you got to make quick decisions with these kids yeah really a attack 11 three-pointers in this game we Str strg to find a three-parter in the first game here's Shephard on a drive bot got a piece of it but I got a piece of him as well dingham gave it to him at the right time as he's coming off with that little curl getting in the lane and now bott's got three so both big men have some foul issues think this kid'll be a hero in Kentucky rest of his life yeah he's already been Mr Kentucky basketball and he is McDonald's All-American and he's everything that everybody hoped he was going to be he just doesn't start right now but he's got some pretty good guys and teammates that are starting but him coming off the bench is really been a spark here again today great free throw shter two over 92% B got's got a mismatch with Mitchell I think if they want to load him up they get that last foul they had Jay Davis not B out I just wanted to correct that so he still only got two oh they got run outs Reeves is out in front nice hands by Ingram to knock it away 1543 remaining here in Atlanta nine-point lead Carolina had tied it then Kentucky went on another [Music] run paramont plus Bernie get your crew ready we're coming town and it'll be great battle between these guys been pretty good too BR disadvantage I think the physical end of things but uh four fouls and Bot just makes him work didn't said those had a turn a guy that experience exposing itself right now retaw with seven points in the first half but foul trouble now on the bench are they're comfortable playing with Mitchell as the fiveman though to sort of a different look different coverages fores bait CAU into some situations he's a little uncomfortable right now it's Reeves and theier and Mitchell Dillingham Shephard on the floor for [Applause] Kentucky oh not a good nice overplay by Ryan but he didn't get the steal good recovery such a good driver Dillingham Corner three got it and shootter he is tough biggest lead of the night such a knack of finding a spot relocating Kentucky scored eight straight Carolina needs an answer let's see if they get one from Bott short another three in rout they out will pull down the [Applause] Miss Trimble on the drive spoted out by Mitchell yeah Mitchell with a great read the little things he does for this basketball team I think he got an easy one Trail off his man double help Theo I guess actually got it the got it Mitchell picks it up sets him up for the block talk about great help on defense eight blocks tonight for Kentucky oh what an easy they don't block that one with or not to guard the inbounder huh the good dive to the rim Jen throws it home his first field goal and the Baseline Defender got to face it to the corner too [Applause] mitell always looking for the switch big on little he's got what he wants but it's too deep dillingham's going up you can just see it coming tipped by Guess Who why not Shephard johning on the [Applause] spot Wagner up the kick out Shephard on the drive way up off the window tried to get it on the window and didn't get it there and going for the slam was Trimble and he's upended you know you know what's amazing you got to make the layup though he went at the body put it in the left hand finish it you might get a three-point play instead of the [Applause] glitter well they're going to look again at this one I don't know about that I think it's just a a play on really taking away the call the FL as a foul looking for a flagrant one possible flagrant two the arrow basically undercut him but it was because he was just on the ground and Trimble was a mile in the air he goes into his he just turned to protect himself just play on guys I don't see anything there right now he's just trying to get out of the way almost turns his shoulder a little bit but that's about it you're looking for these quick decisions it's one less lemonade for you later you know I don't think that was malicious at all [Applause] no got it common foul two shots so set Trimble sophomore a of anomy Falls Wisconsin go to the free throw line for the first time another one of those kids that can really get to the rim all of their guards can push it really exposure if you don't get back defensively tremble only score was a three-pointer tonight and he is four for four on taking three pointers this year so he got their best percentage if you want to count that many shots now let's see him at the free throw line 67% so far in the year he didn't get up Riverside he had a big time bang at the [Applause] rib tell the team speed on both sides is extraordinary it is got them both five for Trimble that's the lead to eight little three4 pressure here first time whoa and they try to get it back to Wagner and North Carolina comes up with a steal courtesy of Withers what a nice job defensively but a big guy Davis it's going up in and out and the rebound off to Mitchell he's going to attack Willingham he step on the Baseline yeah he did well he can really turn the corner and go with the rim he just didn't turn it fast enough he ran out of racetrack right about [Applause] there have not seen a scoring explosion from this guy tonight at least not yet that'll start one maybe he does that as well as anybody really fiddles around with the fan RJ with 11 gets the lead down to a half dozen Mitchell he can make got it he can make him Withers didn't put the hand up didn't challenge the jumper he's the glue this one North Carolina puts a dent in that lead ky's got an answer Davis just what I said he had not warmed up he started to warm up well he knows Pace timing regly draw the attention to the D put him on the heels 12 and 1/2 to play second [Applause] [Music] [Applause] half Billingham quick move behind the back the no look pass hit Bott and out of bounds clever with the bounce though and this is where he just Maneuvers around draws the attention of the big who's caught he doesn't want he wants to play the roll guy and now at The Rim able to finish as it sets him apart drop step and a right hand Hook off the window by Mitchell get the lingerie on the Dick they don't get back there's a SWAT another block shot for [Applause] Kentucky Davis tried to crosscourt it Wagner Picks It Off got a man in front he can jump oh he lost control Shepard calmly slows it down Wagner will try a triple well Shephard wanted him to slow it down and run some stuff and another this time it's going to be a foul [Applause] though Trey Mitchell that last trip down Court you better buckle up huh this is called experience Head and Shoulder no dandr got a little embarrassment let's take a look at our AT&T fast analysis W coming off the bench for Kentucky some pretty impressive guys they are deep how about the what they get their feet organized and drill open jumpers again a little laadle on the denial in the corner ends up here with shepher that's that early one in the first half Mitchell run on the floor gives him that open [Music] opportunity Kentucky 25- 11 in bench points three players with at least seven they came in with six guys averaging double figures and Justin Edwards was at 9.8 four of those guys averaging double figures are freshman so there is there is hope in Lexington and you get that feeling talking to Cal not that he's cocky or overconfident but he thinks he's got something I don't blame him after watching these guys so Seth Trimble back at the free throw line hit his last two five for the game averaging about 5.2 on the year North Carolina has been helping themselves from the free throw line but not with that one Davis finally gets a little bit of a blow he gives it all sitting over there next to Jeff Lio couple of former players over there right I guess Shawn may has a lot of time with B cot they tell me with that free throw he really worked on it with him there's Jeff Mark Paige I mean pretty good stab big Pat there big Pat Solomon got Solomon 11 and a half to [Applause] go Mitchell working against Withers and yo might get some offensive rebound if they dribble drive and a track Bott Wagner working against Withers gives it up got a hurry just got the shot away and buried it is that pretty Justin Edwards and they went to counted had four and six rebounds on that trip he's a really a nice player back to a double digit Advantage vott trying to go up and under finally gets his hands on it on offense he loves to spin out on that baseline from the left block [Applause] Carolina went a run to end the first half that got them to within two they're going to need another one of those here in the second half at some point sheeper from the elbow a little short one-handed rebound by Withers nice find Ryan fires scores how about a little guy out there K do Elliot on the money with that delivery 43 for Cormac Ryan at a 20-point game oh they got Tak it over like the landlord good help [Applause] side pretty alert right here Trail them all the way on that ball screen and down this end just size this guy up On's got to give a little [Applause] bit Midway Point second half five-point Kentucky lead Mitchell try to add to it that was touched and this they have got in but offensive interference so they'll go to the free throw line to turn earn his two and they have not taken advantage of that mismatch at all well I rdit right away and this is old school not much G and I that may we'll never know tempting [Applause] yep so Trey Mitchell grad student out of the Pittsburgh area he's one of those guys watching all these guys jump and run and show speed he just plays under the rim that's right under control [Applause] got the [Applause] second a well rested Davis for him he wasn't out there very long or out of there very long o nice cross pass picked off by Shephard Shephard coast to coast in the flush woo it's contagious he reads things beautifully he maybe got his style of play from Stacy but I think he got the Hops from the old man he did have some hops too he just reads things in an extraordinary fashion oh and that one goes in count it for Ingram bump and the hit he is tough loves that bully Ball action in a l post but just this wonderful read [Applause] crosscourt how about this finish huh pretty simple North Carolina had an answer though chance for a three-point play on that one by Ingram see if he can complete it not quite Reeves with a rebound and Reeves on the offense he'll get rid of it Davis with Mitchell he wants it again and he switch back [Applause] they they can run that all day on make the automatic switch P do gets jammed up and the ever alert Trey Mitchell who has been around a little bit West Virginia Texas UMass finished up his career in UK look at him turn his guy Wagner's really looking to get it in there [Music] [Applause] too under nine 10 on the shot clock for Shephard that slipped I think tried to get it to the far Corner North Carolina will take it look at the pin down oh they got big CAU take it over with that [Music] discard yeah you got the arms out that's what hurt him and to wrap around as you see the official make the call so that's three on Armando six-point game 845 to go there's the foul trouble situation Bradshaw's had four for a long time cadell with four now walk a little impatient they wanted to get it to Mitchell and just went opposite he's talking about it too get it inside right here a little roll before the ball hits his de another turnover opportunity for North Carolina to close the gap Davis caught it and a chance for three tough kit and they got to try to get everybody away a little enthusiastic finish Carolina guys excited about it but right here that's all he has to do give him a little bump and the ability to finish at the ring some Inner Strength here too get it high enough that's cuz Bott is the screener out there opens up oh by the way did we mention RJ doesn't usually Miss free throws MH 45 of 47 on the year you want him shooting for sides I think if you're in the playground absolutely this one for a three-point play it's four for four tonight five for five tonight three-point play makes it a three-point game 820 to go put your seat belt on this last8 minutes is going to be something Reeds Up and Under and fouled nice take advantage head the lane boy the confidence to win and Detective bigs well they're so good off the dribble put so much pressure on your interior defense and here tring to use that rim with the proper English better at Thrive it we know we can make the [Applause] [Music] three Antonio Reeds two for two tonight Co Sixth Man of the Year in the sou Eastern Conference last year kind of quiet offensively tonight but he's done a lot of other things very well well including hitting his free throws good chance for watching to do some damage at the other end contribute screen roll set others [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] up they talk that one in seven for Reeves the leads five and and there's eight to play CR screen to a ball screen Davis bumped by Wagner they do a nice job screen and rescreen and a breath for all involved including you both teams given it everything they've got with less than 8 minutes to play in [Music] Atlanta 67 62 just under 8 minutes to go in this one we got more college shs for you next Saturday on CBS late afternoon match up between Vanderbilt and Memphis tip off at 4 Eastern right here on CBS and streaming on paramont plus Bok did a little bit of a rest saving him for that home stretch right now Kentucky really has found a way to get Mitchell involved though with that ball screen making them switch it looks like he will be the big on the floor this time so they may take advantage of that Carolina as RJ goes Ryan taking a blow as well so RJ Davis steps up to the free throw line where he's perfect tonight almost perfect on the entire season five for five tonight 16 points and shooting a one and one senior out of White Plains New York New York which steephen a why don't they just give him those like the automatic walk cuz there's always that one or two off in the whole season that that's just doesn't go in he's at plus 95% on the year right now and it's going up with every shot he makes tonight it's so valuable to have your point guard although he plays combo be able to knock these babies down particularly down the stretch 18 [Applause] nine in each half for RJ three-point [Applause] game the veteran against the Freshman as Wagner brings it up against Davis they got what they want again the switch W with Withers on Wagner smart good communication Dillingham in the paint fadeaway got it this kid is tough he can drive aggressive he is not shy not at all Davis trying to answer on a little Runner off the window how about that he knew Mitchell was [Applause] looming what a high level game this [Applause] early Reeves has to pick up his dribble on the Baseline and Tribble on Mitchell they don't get it to him get he should get to the glass whoa Dillingham way outside missed that shot Withers is out in front nobody sees him yeah didn't run [Applause] anything and whistle and a foul on Kentucky yeah to [Applause] reaching Ono you like the way this guy attacks I sure do he doesn't settle you can take a guy gets an angle Big Time finish and boy what a year s lady Big Time kiss in [Applause] Atlanta nobody for North Carolina has been their leading score in six straight games since Justin Jackson did it in six straight in 2017 RJ Davis is on his way to matching that I think Washington's going to be a big help as the year goes on for this team more he gets confidence [Applause] sophomore and a Gary Indiana a little mid post game two to turn around jumper can bite you deep hit them both New Year's Eve join Blake Shelton lny Wilson Le skard Moore for America's biggest party New Year's Eve live Nashville big bash Sunday December 31st on CBS and streaming on himont plus how about that way to bring your beat your press and give it to Mitchell one-point game with 6 and a half to go Wagner working against Davis up with the left hand and he got it on a scoop a scoop to the hop with some power didn't have much of an angle and RJ Davis real bodies him out this is a heck of a finish de [Applause] delivery his dad played also in Memphis for Coach Cal and this kid three time Gatorade New Jersey player of the year he's off to a pretty darn good start as a freshman is he he really is didn't cap off the three but Mitchell kept it alive Mitchell wants it a nice denial not a good angle for that delivery though good play defensively by Ingram one possession game as we approach six minutes I like Bott at some point there he goes right there the ball screen and no coverage great call from the bench by yubert down to one with six to [Applause] go Billingham gives it up good job by Ryan going under shot won't go Bott clears it that just Bradshaw good check out Carolina has never l in this game he got what he want there with bot Withers kick out Ryan air Mill it to the back side Bott left hand is going to the line and that might be it for Bradshaw every once in a while they she get the ball to Bott they miss him he was trying to direct traffic to get to the corner and dump it down earlier but got himself in position didn't quit on the [Applause] play well just at the right spot could have used that left hook that he has they're going to call that P Dillingham not Bradshaw so he's not gone yet Armando Bott there's the free throw all that hard [Applause] work North Carolina this entire day has never LED until now Billingham almost lost his balance working against Ryan he'll take it to the rack Bradshaw the follow good hustle Liam's got a back off though very fortunate alert Brad to finish it Kentucky back by a point Davis the kick out right back to him let's fly off the mark Shephard with a [Applause] rebound ky's got Four Freshman on the floor right now now brano's got the mismatch if they want it Liam loves to go oh reverse off the window how about that that Head and Shoulder fak is always coming for the right [Applause] hook still a one possession game but back to three-point Advantage for Kentucky Davis leaves it underneath Withers misses Shephard another Rebound in the outlet to killingham and the finish on the other end the kid sees everything what a feel what a pass by shepher amazing he knows where all nine are immediately North Carolina timeout the freshmen are growing up in front of our eyes in Atlanta you think cows accustomed to playing with freshman over the years yeah I think so and they get this kind of response but the ability show me a little globy maneuver freeze the D the rever and how about this this home run look nice and easy Big Time [Music] finish let's take a look at our Jersey Mike Subs game summary bench has been huge for Kentucky tonight with 33 points they've been great on the offensive glass turnovers relatively even RJ Davis has come to light big time in the second half with his team needed him and Bott gave Carolina its only lead at 72- 71 one but since then the Freshman for Kentucky have scored the last six points after trailing by one give them a fivepoint lead where will they become sophomores how good will they be they might they might be there already that's true they will be well endowed [Applause] baby cor mag Ryan with 20 points Davis with 20 points for North Carolina but right now it's not quite [Applause] enough Davis draws a double team nice show by Bradshaw helped out there this is what he likes now Withers the kick out here's a runner and it goes for Ingram nice combo Inside Out mention Withers from Louisville nice little mid post [Applause] game 3 minutes remaining in a three-point game Reeves got it how about that just taking advantage Little Brush midrange [Applause] knockdown Davis got it from three-point range how about and 23 for RJ none bigger than that one not much space still able to knock it Wagner with a left hand no good and Bon lost it I thought yep going to be Kentucky [Applause] ball how about this just a little blur there able to pull up and Davis why not nylon from Deep out fire have a on keep when it feels we're here to have a good [Music] [Applause] [Music] time we are 227 remaining the game reset Kentucky ball with a two-point lead will it be cat or heela when we're all done 17,5 have gotten their money's worth tough angle to get it in by the way Brad right here trouble situation a lot of guys are close Bradshaw and CAU the [Applause] worst Wagner with Withers on him he's like he likes this match 10 on the shot clock Wagner goes to work shot from the elbow goes he knew that was coming had him back on his heels big advantage and a little half smile from DJ going down on the other end to play defense against Davis he's been hot this second half he's going for more oh that's some more another three all they need is a bump from bacock 26 for RJ it's a one-point [Applause] game Wagner again brings it back out to Mitchell with is pretty good defensively too you know he got beat the last time dilling hand the crossover and he [Applause] score woo woo an individual Talent one possession game with 120 to go Davis Mitchell tried to knock it away from him from behind he gets it back but he's stuck over there in front of his own bench works a shot like that to get fouled you know what was amazing about that Brad how he got to the other corner and got available talk about Hunger to do the right thing search for an opening and then just so revealing he sucks the defens defender in just amazing here right now he looks like he's in trouble all of a sudden gets himself set initiates a little touch just mark it down he's got two he's coming off a 26-point game in the loss to Yukon 27 27 26 26 26 again tonight look the field goals eight field goalss out of 17 tempts in every game and the free throws just keep dropping big thing he wants the ball at crunch time this kid how about oh they missed a free throw that's a shocker they got to foul the other way R go shoot it Withers with the reach in you know what else amazed me the 38 minutes a game there for the five or this is a rarity got to know he's tired oh my but he almost can't believe he missed it just came up [Applause] short that made his previous 41 in a row and now Bradshaw who's only shot six free throws all year three of them he's made steps to the line in a big moment and missed it oh my goodness two guys didn't communicate Reeves ends up with a ball wow and now we're under a minute two-point Kentucky [Applause] lead Wagner goes with a left hand and it's rejected out of there by Ingram how about that defense Big Time disadvantage in terms of moving those legs think Kentucky wants a timeout boy there are no easy shots there's been a lot of block shots we still got a little bit of time left 49.3 seconds remaining in regulation but only 3 seconds on the shot clock for [Music] Kentucky Kentucky is Led virtually throughout it was a 7271 lead on a Bott drive for North Carolina that's the only time time they had the lead in this game all right now the hit and follow on the out of bounds or a screen and lob three on the clock so it's a catch and dribble plenty of time let's see if it's going to be Shepard as a trigger man on the Baseline it's interesting I would put big on him so he doesn't get good Vision he certainly had good Vision just about all night that's for sure yeah his understanding is another level they do put Ingram on him will may be going off a double got it in got it up short fou rat tring fouled before the shot I I would say so I think it's way before the shot boy that was the longest three [Applause] seconds I touch two one yeah I guess so [Applause] yeah very smart of brano to get himself right to the rim though Davis just draped all over him Davis knows that the big guy's underneath and didn't want him to get an easy one but I don't know that he would have gotten the shot well he got it away looking for a shot clock see if the clock started on time that's exactly what I was going to say it seemed like it was awful slow on the inbound play to [Applause] Mitchell and let's see if we can hear anything at the end of the play there's the whistle to inbound ti1 1002 1003 pretty simultaneous [Applause] y so Kelly fer and Courtney green and Patrick Evans are going to figure this out for us and I'm glad they've got that job and not [Applause] us looking for the shot clock violation it did start a little bit late look like on the three that's the only problem I have with it it didn't look like it started on top critical call here coming up with 46 seconds remain [Applause] remaining and they're going to tell the coaches but we might not know for a second you can tell by the reaction sometimes of the coaches [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] yeah okay no basket but a foul yet two free throws yep one and one and that's going to be on the long arms of Aaron Bradshaw he's only shot one free throw tonight and he missed it now they're going to ask him to try to hit one and then hit the next I wouldn't get on the line this early if I were him this Rel hold we're going to get a [Applause] interpretation got it you're right the one and one two Got A Squeeze if your Carolina Aon Bradshaw The Freshman buries it big free throw given him his 10th point this one would make it a two possession game and he hasn't been under the gun much either stepping up big time let's see if he can calmly hit the second one like he hit the first [Music] yes he can good for him two possession game and a timeout Carolina yeah down to one now 42.7 left in [Music] regulation North Carolina trailing by four 4 2.7 remaining everybody shooting two free throws on the next foul for North Carolina it got to be in Davis's hand they love that high ball screen I think you got to go dribble drive or get bit cot on the box bro may be reluctant with his foul [Music] problems so it's Ingram and Withers Davis Bott and Ryan on the floor for North Carolina here we go Davis who's been Sensational again tonight with 27 oh he almost C that you got the hand up though inside he walked and we're going to call a foul on the inside well very lucky that his feet stumbled not sure exactly what they wanted for a pretty good defense this is where RJ M almost right there right there is where he almost lock on the hands on top though yep pretty good defense too by Wagner Ang Ingram's been to the line twice tonight missed them both nails that one back to a one possession game Che his B Junior out of Dallas K's got to be ready for the pressure now car goes big on the ball and got them both they do Withers trying to take away vision from others Shephard trying to get it in does to Dillingham dribbling around in the back court against Withers the pass ahead to Shephard Shephard trying to get out of there try to draw a foul wow 13 down 12 there's finally Ingram wow foul wasted all that [Applause] time boy thought they might lengthen the game that about 10 seconds elapsed and now Dillingham to the free throw line three out of four tonight that's one of those deals you trap one gamble that opens things up a little bit now yeah it does one timeout left for Carolina on the make should they might push it Billingham a 16-point night but he left one out there let's see about the second John's got to decide on the other end what time if and when he gives a foul on the give him the three-point attempt got the second one to drop and they get the time out to talk that over now so a three-point game with just under 12 seconds [Music] left tonight on CBS some holiday spirit Rudolph the rednose reindeer Frosty the Snow man Frosty Returns and a new 48 hours yet to come tonight after a triple header of basketball on [Music] CBS go back CBS Sports classic 2016 in this one and Malik monk who had an unbelievable game buzzer [Applause] beater and a 103 100 game maybe is fun a game as rft and I have ever called in regular season play I would agree with you totally now the strategy make them use a little clock three4 Court back off don't let them turn and go when are you going to give the foul if in fact you give on the three-point shot I'd say 7 six seconds maybe if in fact that's what they're going to do and you got to be careful that they're not in the act of shooting as well three4 court now for M Ryan's going to be the trigger guy you don't want to gamble though you want to contain Kido and Davis in the backwards going to be kdo that'll handle it you know Davis is going to get it at some point shepher on Kad oh he doesn't even see the ball somehow Davis picked back for and now it's a turnover wow that is [Applause] [Music] [Applause] unbelievable goodness you got to always see the ball I know you weren't expecting the pass but you got to look at the ball for a talented player like kdo very unexpected as well and he was going to go pin down and get Davis the ball he made a good effort if that's how it's going to end what a terrible way to finish off a unbelievable game Shepard inbound to 5 Seconds having trouble cross courts it though to Bradshaw and Bott fouls him with 4.7 left well you were right what a downer oh you must have Vision though even though you're going down to do a job screening only his second turnover tonight hit Ryan right in the shoulder yubert almost went for it himself there did you see it yeah and then it was over and back because RJ Davis couldn't put the brakes on fast enough now Elliot you're going to have a great career kid I know you feel terrible Bradshaw rattled out still a chance this one though is the all important [Music] one and it's a two-possession game he's missed one hit two and missed one still holding a timeout too so you can get something at half court get your timeout this is all rehearsed pretty much on a daily basis so the big guy at 7-1 with the biggest free throw of his young career and it's good yeah how about that and now Botts going to inbound either to Davis or throw at the length of the Court Davis just don't want to be near him and missed the three what a game it sure was
