67 02 07 2012 Kentucky vs Florida 720p HD

[Music] and rivalry week continues with super tuesday presented by kfc and from rupp arena in lexington kentucky it's the sec on espn top team in the conference top team in the country kentucky number one riding 15 straight wins right now but florida ranked number seven trying to stay on their heels top four teams get a buy in the first round of the sec tournament in new orleans dick the question is as we go to one on one what can florida do that nobody else has been able to so far well you know brad they're gonna have to make the three there's no doubt about it they lead the nation in threes made they average about 10.5 threes a game for them to win the night they're gonna have to make a minimum of ten they got five guys they can make up you talk about point you talk about walker you talk about beal and also rosario and murphy on the other end anthony davis the best shot blocker in america a dominator a guy that absolutely is the key why they have the best field goal percentage in america 36 team shoe against kentucky all right dick let's take a look at the starting lineups for the florida gators irving walker and kelly boynton of ventura backcourt beals the freshman murphy and patrick young are up front and for the hometown wildcats of john calipari fatigue lamb and kid gilchrist terence jones in the aforementioned anthony davis up front for the wildcats let's check in third member of our team shannon spake shannon well brad florida head coach billy donovan told me today he believes that there are two things that lead to greatness in a team number one the way that you handle tough competition and number two the way that you respond to adversity certainly he is aware that his team will be put to the test on both of those here tonight now as far as the kentucky wildcats despite just one loss on the year and being ranked first in the nation coach calipari continues to say his team needs to improve coach calipari was at the super bowl on sunday he watched the new york giants and he's used them as an example he said that they were not the best team during the season but they were the best team when it counted brad no doubt about that he's used nick saban and now tom coughlin in firing his troops up he's got to keep him motivated and he says there's a fine line between swagger and arrogance and he's been walking that fine line with these guys as anthony jordan set to throw it up and we're underway gary maxwell and mike roberts the other two officials and here's number one kentucky tell you one thing brad i don't think there's any doubt we're going to see florida doing some drop and impression like they did at the end of the game against vanderbilt aaron jones who had such a great start against south carolina in this case has the first turnover of the ball game you know he's been in enigma all year long had that one stretch four games where he really really struggled but then he's been coming on playing a little bit more aggressive basketball back court pressure florida handles it easily now here's early walker the senior at the point should have no problem with russia because of her experience in the back court yeah each team a little bit of the jitters early okay one thing you don't want to turn it over against this kentucky team because they're going to go the other way and get a deuce 13 straight winning seasons going for 14. that would make an upset tonight to give them 20 again this year i think a key player tonight is going to be patrick young i think he's going to give him some quality minutes against that front porch offensive foul and marcus teague who threw his shoulder in he's a kid that's made a big adjustment you're watching teague right here game on the collegiate level as a terrific scorer and he's had to make the adjustment to be a distributor and he's getting better and better at it he knows he's got the height advantage on irving walker but irv kept his ground through the charge see kentucky but a little pressure so you can take a chance of pressuring davis back there absolutely he's the best shot blocker i've seen in many a year maybe you think about odin you talk about patrick ewing in this conference he's already passed shaquille o'neal's freshman record with 116 on the year doesn't get this one of patrick young's but he does get the rebound trying to go right inside adam the one gate they lost he got a foul trouble against indiana a lot of people think maybe if foul trouble happens it's the way to beat kentucky because everything else seems to work for him played only 23 minutes that game and in that game also indiana made the three in the second half and seven in a row here's lamb on a runner snatched out of the air by young that's one thing patrick young can match up with terence jones muscle for muscle underneath here's murphy he's a good three-point shooter and he knocks it down you're right on it brad he can flat out shoot the three they got five guys that can make the threes they have taken 599 threes coming into this game and now they have made 242 and for murphy that's his 36th and he's shooting 46 from out there so not a guy you can leave alone davis he's not a three-point shooter he's now oh for seven in that capacity but he tried one there don't let him shoot that see i think sometimes guys play for the scouts they want to show people murphy a little too strong on his second attempt from outside the arc and here comes gilchrist this guy can shoot land brings it out jones trying to follow and now the outlet to boynton a great outlet pass and kenny boynton plays it in a terrible job by kentucky in transition nobody rotated back after the shot not the start john calipari was looking forward to quick time-outs 5-0 florida quick start for the gators a three by murphy and then an outlet pass that got morten an easy layup in transition five nothing you know florida has been tested i mean they went on the road they lost a tough game in syracuse a tough game to ohio state they didn't want to see whether or not he's behind the three behind the line oh his foot might have been on the line looks like he was on a lot but you got two eyes i got one uh you know what they're going to call it a two-pointer so it is four to nothing right now that's good job by the officials gary maxwell mike roberts anthony jordan want to get it right it really rises in games like this michael kidd guiltless he loves the big stage played great against north carolina but his other games just won them squirrelly at all but he's a terrific talent fight on the shot clock team's got to go up with it over walker missed it and the rebound off the field you know early in the game i see a little passive kind of situation there with kentucky i don't see that real you know intensity emotion they've been just absolutely pummeling people jack dassault does a great [Applause] yeah they've been beating people by 20 or more and a nice left-hand hook by patrick young and kentucky down six to nothing at home florida up a touchdown [Music] that's a proud plan too absolutely tough move by jones missed it over murphy murphy will get the rebound they want to see jones be a little bit more aggressive more offensively [Applause] he packs it inside the young young people before he really has struggled had a little ankle problem but they think it's really a confidence factor lamb of the tough catch he's still going to take the jumper on the wing and got it he can score a man you said it earlier brad you can count it he can flat off shoot the rock would have taken a three but the pass was a little bit too wide so he just adjusted and got to the wing and has the first basket for kentucky but it took him three and a half four and a half minutes to get that here's another florida turnover and the race to the bucket team team high school superstar came in the one great thing that john caliber does he gets these stars to understand their roles to blend in but not be selfish oh listen to this place brad they love him here oh big blue nation going bananas two minutes ago you said they were quiet they aren't anymore and now deal with a miss and they won't get any less loud on the break here kid gilchrist the lob jones missed inside and now a foul underneath the lookout and it's two wildcats that are tangled up and kid gilchrist really took a bad fall and then had davis laying on it [Applause] we'll check on him five minutes into the game kentucky's responded after being down by six with back-to-back baskets 6-4 gators [Music] [Applause] espn's exclusive presentation of college basketball is presented by kfc bring something different to the party with kfc sauceless hot wings now just 50 cents each and in part by infinity luxury cars that deliver inspired performance 6-4 florida early in the opening five minutes they ran out to a 6-0 lead kentucky with back-to-back baskets they cut it to two to take a look at our sec news and notes tony mitchell suspended indefinitely from alabama's team that's not going to help them much bulldogs trying to avoid a sweep against ole miss the rpi seven teams in the top 58 rpi wise in the sec mitchell's been kind of a problem a little bit for anthony grant this whole season and it finally came to a head and he said it wasn't one thing it was a whole bunch of things you know one of these kids gonna grow up man part of being mature i mean a coach wants to play a kid like tony mitchell but after a while you're not poured into team you gotta follow rules my friend that's what life's all about joe lenardy our fine bracket apologist we'll get into that big time as we get down the stretch he has five teams going through the ncaa tournament for the right now as of today from the sec these are two of them i think so i think they get a shot gilchrist trying to tie it up at six i love this kid he's a warrior man he's an absolute warrior he's just a competitor he's all about the team patrick's elizabeth kentucky started out for seven from the floor but now they've tied things at six let's see if florida can get back into their half court offense and not turn it over they've had back-to-back turnovers senate dude a great job attacking the three-point shooters they're going to make them beatable they're not going to allow them to step up and square and shoot the three and murphy [Applause] crossing the lane and miller got a hold of him so i saw the game plan inside the locker i saw it game plan attack their three-point shooters make them try to beat us off the bounce and we'll have mr davis waiting for him it's hard for you to sneak around anywhere it's not that they see you but they can hear you coming [Applause] eight on the shot clock for boynton screen and roll gonna step out points gonna take it inside and he had it stripped so it is another turnover by the gators that's one thing they couldn't afford tonight wheelchair three got it you can shoot it i think this kid's gonna get four minutes i think you can be a major factor for them especially tournament time adam on saturday and he had 12 points all in the second half but he can stroke it sometimes the game's a little too quick for him field drives and scores he's a big-time diaper dandy out of st louis with the same high schools to get a lead just as kentucky had taken a three-point lead florida cuts back into it now loose ball and a wildcat turnover boynton on the other end trying to beat teague to the whole beal will follow terrific job and their pressure to create the turnover they went on a nine zip spurt against being the boat when they were struggling went to the press 17 vandy turnovers and they turned them into 19 points in that game here's wheelchair on a runner he gets undercut and the foul's going to be on young i think i hope he goes i'll take it back i'm going to take a look right here watch wheelchairs squaring up he can shoot it he's definitely played in the nba take a look right here he's up in a year once you're up in a year you got no chance young did a great job young did a great job of holding his ground there one thing looks like he can play tied up mean a lot of the basketball players have done thinking about gates donna gonzalez jimmy graham with new orleans another turnover and that's five on florida one thing jim billy donovan said to me today we can't have a lot of turnovers and we can't take stupid shots so far they've taken decent shots but the turnovers are killing them yeah that's formula for winning shot selection so important you're gonna take good shots you're in trouble especially against the club like kentucky virginia many second the third opportunities remember florida's only hit one three so far and that was from one of their big guys here's miller trying one of his own and beal with another rebound miller is a guy that really scares bully donovan he's had great games against florida pull up three by irving walker and kid gilchrist trying to save it on the baseline it couldn't it'll be floor to ball as both teams are going to their bench ron lambs going to come back in and scotty willigan will check in for the first time for florida wilbur gives beale a breather feels a nice job on the boards here early jake's very versatile what i like about beal is he's not only [Music] and after the rebound of foul as you get got the rebound and then got fouled you know you get really was a key player in a vanderbilt game at five points eight rebounds three assists the key to their pressure he's really been rebounding extremely well he's a lot of energy too plays lord [Applause] out of boudreau france by the way of florida air academy 6-7 sophomore he's not a good free throw shooter however 35 on the year florida has not been a good free-throw shooting team yet in the last game they go 14-14 in the second half i think it was 16 17 16. yeah with 16 for 17 that helped him win the game but they missed two here from you that was a good valuable team maybe a team that's been a little up and down when you look at vanderbilt certainly got some experience outstanding players in jenkins taylor and zealy [Applause] again they leave davis wide open going to take that shot again i don't think they'll let him shoot the ball up there shoot 68 percent seventeen let him take over though they don't wanna let him take those i mean 71 dunks florida has 67 as a team right i did it brad he has a chance i tweeted it today did a grand slam you know first to win player of the year defensive player of the year and that's the 10th three-pointer he's blocked this year he's got such range with his shot blocking the building nice wrap-around pass behind the back by rosario and young dunksy you know young gets seduced from zero made to play but you know talking about davis he could be the first player ever to be player of the year he could be the freshman of the year defensive player of the year and number one in the nba draft that's a lot that's the whole package because of things like this oh [Music] of a single season kentucky shot blocking record went a long time ago and then the sec freshman record went previously held by shaquille o'neal jarvis bernardo is the next in line but again this is a guy that doesn't just block shots on the inside he blocks him on the perimeter as well as he did right before that break and now here he is on the offensive end 72 baby what a diaper dandy tandem that is kim gilchrist and mr davis murphy knocks down a second three and that quiets the crowd back one thing an elementary three like that is every bit as big as a [Applause] nine minutes into the game tied at 15. so far everything we expected see really challenging the three-point shooters trying to get right up on their faces step off that screen he could have right there we'll take it over quick lambs out in his face quickly left great help six on the shot clock field's going to try to drive and fade away and it's blocked by davis he's a shot blocked in the shoot and he's a shot blocked at the sheet [Applause] kind of get it inside a wheelchair threw it away irving walker two on one he's gonna pull up and take the jumper got his own miss and missed again so one thing great lesson right there really was a good shot pulled up took a little jumper lands and he goes to the right trail great drive kentucky by two crowd is up billy donovan takes a timeout [Applause] [Music] kid gilchrist leaving it up for the 6-10 freshman who slams it home i think they're one of the best five teams as type of dandies that i've witnessed in the last decade you gotta talk carmelo anthony back tomorrow you talk certainly about wall and cousins talking about durant and augustine you know you got two looks at that slam dunk on that alley-oop and he actually not only went up high enough he took it off the hand of murphy who had a hand on the ball and was doing a pretty good job defensively took it away from his hand and threw it in all in one motion you don't want to show me how unselfish jim gilchrist is i had a tweet on my thing that said who's the best freshman in america i listed five guys he sends me back one he says not close anthony davis and he was one of the five guys that you could have voted for right not even close close that's the midway point of the first half and kentucky by two after trailing six nothing in the opening minute deal trying to work against jones up high on the glass and vargas thousand they'll love that beal can really attack wolf demands [Music] there's a look from underneath and above [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] rivalry week continues part of it tomorrow night will be the 40th time dick will be calling duke in north carolina it follows georgetown at syracuse at seven our wednesday night hoops presented by reese's peanut butter cups gave you a little trip down memory lane there you and i pulled several of those together always a great night it really is i can't wait to get over there tomorrow night it should be really special in fact there's like four places that i call my four special places cameron indoor stadium rough i love shirley rock chord jayhawk and the museum i call champa museum you walk in you look at all those banners and you get goosebumps right now we got a good game going here the top two teams in the sec at 9 36 remaining in the half and brad beale at the free-throw line 74 of the year he's got five points here in the first half so far really struggling for the three when you look at florida one for five shooting the three they'll keep pumping them up there absolutely you know it's a different kind of team that billy's used to have this is a team spread them out four guys one guy inside take advantage of his perimeter players outstanding guys very versatile you gotta match up with them what a similarity to missouri missouri plays those four small guys and boys do they know how to win down the stretch oh lamb got up in the air and realized young was right in his grill did come back down with the ball another chance gets [Music] seven on the shot clock as lamb back pedals and works against irving walker darius miller from the elbow as the shot clock was expiring but the second chance is terrence jones knows with the offensive rebound i thought he was going to have a monster year this year like that big dip preseason first team all america and a lot of people did and it was the first team sec choice in fact picked as the sec player of the year the pre-season rankings and he stuffs one inside he does a pretty nice job blocking shots as well the number six shot locker in the conference you know you can make an argument for them as having the best front basketball even though i give the edge to north carolina i should watch jones right there let me talk about jones davis and gilchrist kim gilchrist that's pretty good people don't realize how tall kid gilchrist is he's six seven and he's put together you know what's great about it he can guard people on the perimeter he is now he's got a challenge playing against beal he's young on the baseline and working back outside and go right back into it with six on the shot clock tough shot didn't go rebound to gilbert didn't have a good angle there when that pops miller great pass to vargas and after gilchrist he just keeps working working working tenacious relentless as miller right now with the diagonal pass gonna find the open guy vargas you know vargas started out of florida yeah i did then transferred to miami-dade and now in his senior season also transferred kenny congratulations doing a great job at miami what about miami beating duke johnson was phenomenal mike was not a happy camper about the energy and the effort of duke i don't think he's gonna have to be concerned about energy and effort tomorrow night i don't think so either kentucky's got its biggest lead they just keep coming at you i think it's amazing when you can go through several years of the unbeaten at home against sec competition that's pretty impressive rick patino and florida had trouble with turnovers in this first half john calipari's team was down six to nothing but they've rebounded now to lead by four and even though he's got his hands on his head he'll talk with shannon when we come back to rough in a minute [Music] ryan burr with your studio update marilyn clemson over on espnu and maryland getting it done nick's faust on the baseline with the one hand jam terps up 21-18 440 to go guys [Applause] all right ryan here four-point game just under eight to play kentucky 21-17 chanting with john calipari a moment ago coach you guys were scoreless in the first four minutes but have certainly made up for it what's been the biggest difference between the first stretch and now we got rid of the ebg bees i guess i mean missed some one footers and you got to give florida credit they're a terrific basketball team it seems as though they're playing a little step faster than us a little more aggressive than us so we got to pick this up if we're to beat these guys it's a hard game this this team is very good you have contained their three points so far they've made just one how have you done that well we're we're up on people but we're still they had two or three open that they missed so they're going to make threes now i mean they'll step back and shoot them from half court and make them so our thing is long rebounds my point guards got to get a couple of those that are bouncing out wide thanks coach well the heebie-jeebies are gone very little difference right now as kentucky has one more field goal and two more free throws tell what's amazing he went through a five-year cycle ready for this 172 and 17. well the ncaa you know stripped himself he showed me a ball today sending the ball 500 wins but they told me it doesn't count so that means i'll get another 500 ball nine wins from now and get another ball i guess you saw the statistic dick talked about it in the open over ten threes made per game which is tops in the conference and tops in the country and florida's gonna have to start using those and have some of those drop john calipari told me on saturday so they might take 38 before the game's over i don't think they'll get that many but they might end up with 28. john has a way of exaggerating a little bit look at that drive right there by jones and offensive foul got an offensive foul makes an aggressive move triple threat position squared his body really well defense rotated over i was teasing gallipoli i said one thing to leave not even has you can't buy my friends and watch the drive i guess the left knee in the chest he's gonna have to sit and that might be it for jones for the half you know that's one of those calls you can go either way it's so tough to call i was teasing john i said billy's got two things you don't have and you can't buy it national championships back to back in fact in 0-6 07. he's dying to get one i'll tell you that that's his goal right here in kentucky well a win tonight would snap his longest winning streak or break his longest winning streak that he had in memphis which was also 47 games and right now riding a 47-game home winning streak here that rough looks short and kid gilchrist always seems to be in the right place and here he comes he puts pressure look at the way he goes for the basket brad bring out the big lights bring out the big game and that kid goes to another level stretches the lead to six you get trying to hook fast back inside to murphy and team free to irving walker and keep duplicate bangs the three off the back of the iron now beale will try one of his own and his is in and out over the [Applause] background you take a look right here michael jake gilchrist he's going to take the rough he's going to go coast to ghost he's going to split the defense good quickness good elevation lays him right on the glass a terrific scholastic superstar when he played at st patrick's murphy's got to sit down too much like karen jones so two of the big guys one on each team sitting with two fouls you know murphy's got a brother down at duke he's red shirting right now is that florida played pretty good on the defensive end miller and now a blocking foul on you gets gonna be his first saturday we got a couple of college rivalry games for you featuring top teams in the big ten of the sec michigan state at number three ohio state get together and kentucky and vandy kentucky and vanderville at nine and that's saturday primetime presented by directv at nine o'clock deck will be there with dan shulman in that one one thing the buckeyes are really playing well now brad they're going to come up later on espn really playing dominant jared sullinger and company of buford craft that bottom man these little skits playing defense just like right now one just doing a pretty good job in their half court defense another six minutes is darius miller let's fly out of three nothing but orange jerseys there is veal pulls down the rebound i mean beale really wanted a top freshman in america but unfortunately has no shot to be freshman of the year in the sec hit a drought there's been a lot of droughts between three and five and sometimes nine minutes and still florida can't get one to go they suffocate you see right there they may have put the ball on the floor go from the three-point line to the tv jumping field great adjustment in midair to get around the traffic and score a terrific body control move along baseline beauty man he's got really a great ability in attacking the red and he can shoot the three as well deal off to a good start eight points five boards and he ends that drop from the floor for the gators they're gonna let them [Applause] under five minutes davis on the pick and roll he's gonna get it out to kid gilchrist and he'll pull up from outside that's an area he's really got a long way to go making the perimeter jump shot everybody hustling for the loose ball and the possession here is going to keep it on kentucky's end i'll tell you one thing about both these clubs they understand how to play coaches will not have it any other way they understand what good shots are they understand how to hustle how to scrap how to share the ball you get tried to slap that out with the left hand he just didn't get enough on it to get it out to walker and that caused the loose ball the tie up and kentucky basketball with 4 45 left in the half i like to see him right out there i believe that was go right out there we don't want him to slide inside on us [Applause] is a totally different player than what i witnessed earlier doing a couple of early games so much more under control davis left and kentucky will get another fresh shot clock a lot of nba people here i know they didn't cut to see me maybe they came to see you i said the other day once you see davis once you don't have to waste your airfare anymore you know a lot of guys they keep talking about potential potential i want guys they're ready to play mr potential gets you fired and there's potential that's reality not potential that's right that is reality get it inside and he's all about the team he's all about the team in fact all their players all their players about really what the team is about beyond selfish all about winning 73 dunks three tonight [Applause] rosario turned it over kid gilchrist to the right my friends as good as the gamer he's a gamer get the big game and he is ready to perform he's a flat lpt player and now that adversity that shannon talked about is upon the gators with 3 45 they're down by eight the crowd is loud and they haven't been able to score from the floor they're making a drive but their game plan is being executed to perfection they're making the gators have to attack off the bounds they're not allowed to square up and shoot the trifecta [Applause] on 11-2 run by the wildcats here's the kid you got to cover because he can shoot the open jumper [Applause] better get a body on davis and a shot goes up [Applause] and a walk on teague one of his few turnovers in recent weeks [Applause] anthony davis having another big game six points blocking shots on the other end shannon will talk to billy donovan whose team's in a little bit of trouble when we come back [Music] brian burns studio coming up on the ups halftime report i'll be joined by jimmy dykes ohio state puts their 38-game home winning streak on the line against purdue jimmy tells us the one guy that makes the bucks defense go plus in the big 12. a huge game on the road for iowa state we'll get you caught up to date brad and dick will see in a few 38 straight for the buckeyes the longest streak is right here and it looks like it might get added to tonight's shannon with billy donovan a moment ago coach just one three-point shot for you guys so far in this first half how do you guys get your offense going well obviously when the ball goes in the basket your offense is going to get going and we haven't i thought we've had a couple good looks but we just got i'm more disappointed at our drives into trouble where we've gotten shots blocked and our turnovers i think when we've run offense we've gotten good shots we just got to continue to do that you talked to me today about overcoming adversity what is your message to these guys right now and during the half yeah i think anytime you're on the road there's going to be challenges we're down 8 right now so we're going to find the middle of our guys right now and just in terms of trying to battle and fight this last 304 and try to you know try to dig into the lead a little bit thanks coach eight turnovers right now by the gators and a 10-2 run by kentucky has put them up by pay one thing to key right now you look at michael kid gilchrist he's heading for a double double at halftime yeah he's got nine rebounds ten points already and they've done a great job kentucky neutralizing the three-point shot and we didn't emphasize that enough okay they lead the nation in a3 shooting one for murphy has the only three tonight and he had one taken away by having two biggest shoes there's one kenny boynton they got to get boynton rolling had a good game against vanderbilt did a good job defensively as well on jenkins leading scorer in the sec coming out of that timeout a good job by florida to get boynton open on that baseline outside the arc next three minutes 243 now was 307 before really vital to florida i mean they've got to go in with a little momentum at halftime they could handle five but they don't want it to be nine they'd like to cut into the five lay em around [Music] [Applause] miller is one of those first style guys to shoot the three compost he's the veteran out there the senior that's where he won't go they're gonna let him fly though he'd get back in the game quickly with the three see under control i mean they just don't come down run jump and shoot i mean these guys play under control have a plan to what they're trying to do offensively those screen and roll right here step out off the screen [Music] [Applause] and that space it was created because miller was doubled up found his teammate his teammate converted i said they wouldn't want to be down nine or more they're down 10. very critical time for the gators right now young blocked by davis but a foul kid gilchrist always have a chance to win when you defend brad and the one thing about kentucky they're always going to defend you may catch them on a night where they're not shooting well as team little inside outside action with the score but let me tell you this man as you watch i'm trying to score inside it is so difficult to score with that guy you need enforcer to dominate her lane got the younger the future alive the sophomore out of jacksonville's got five [Applause] you may be looking at florida right here you know what are getting 27 28 at the half you got a chance to win when you hold clubs like that no doubt about that calipari under john calipari if you score 67 points or fewer his team is 68 and one it's not bad not bad say one thing he knows how to motivate him he called up nick saban when he won and he don't think saban about you know all about alabama how proud when he watched that play how they really were all about the team now he's into the top cover i mean he doesn't let anything slide we're under a minute an eight-point game this kid has really turned the corner as a point guard eight on the shot clock is land fires it through that could give him that tree as well hey floyd is supposed to be able to shoot the threat it's kentucky he's shooting the three teams [Applause] looking for a pick from young but he's got those long arms in front of him of davis who cuts him off here's rosario off the window and then you get follows his first basket great hustle might get you know he's not a guy that's going to shoot the ball well but he's going to scrap claw give you some energy defensively well right now florida's down that nine i talked about but will kentucky add to it before the buzzer land got it and now it's 12. kentucky 38. florida 26. time for the ups halftime report ryan burr and jimmy joe dykes standing by guys all right thanks so much brad so a 12 point game at the half welcome into the ups halftime report ryan burr along with jimmy dykes and i'll tell you this florida comes into the game shooting the three as much and as often as any team in america and kentucky we always think oh they can't shoot the three they're out shooting floor in the first half your thoughts on a on a 12 point kentucky lead kentucky defensively is a juggernaut think about this florida comes in making 39 percent of their three-point shots on the road so far this year in this first half they're two for nine uh billy donovan has his press now they only put it on four times in the first half kentucky turned it over twice so in the second half can florida make enough shots to get their press set up if so i think they got a chance to get their way back in this ball game second thing terence jones if kentucky is going to be a national champion terence jones has to be the most physical guy around the rim every night for kentucky davis is not a physical guy wheelchair is not jones fouls in this first half and jimmy obviously the difference maker for kentucky the one guy they have that no other team in the country has is anthony davis the leader in the country in block shots just a defensive difference maker what makes him special because he's a great position defender first of all i mean he leads the nation and blocks shots but because he understands position defense as well as anybody in the country is what makes him so good in this first half anthony davis is matched up on a point guard right now holds his own kentucky doesn't panic now they switch back he gets back on his natural position then he rotates over to block the shot of the small forward anthony davis is a guy that makes you [Music] re-evaluate [Music] rivalry week continues and it's super tuesday presented by kfc the sec on the espn from rough arena sold out tonight and they have enjoyed what they've seen from their wildcats in the first half 38 to 26. our scores were just about set to start the second half brad nessler with dick vitale and shannon spake partner you're working a little bit under the weather i know that you got a big week right now florida's working a little bit under the weather they went three for their last 13 to end the half if they don't warm it up this thing's over well if they don't make threes they have no chance whatsoever and they haven't been able to make them they're two for nine for the trifecta lead the nation in shooting three but tonight the game plan of kentucky challenged the three here it is they've been empty shooting threes even when they were open they just can't get them before being challenged on each three and i thought kentucky did a great job of making him have to try to beat off the bounce i mean he shot down from dale louis though really not a good three right there and what about the state when you look here at the graphic season low and points 26 and two for from three-point land only two that went eight turnovers not a good first half for florida let's see if they can pick up the pace here to start the second half yeah one thing they really challenge you on that perimeter but i love the versatility defensively of gilchrist that's a good start young nice execution getting the ball down and deep getting a conversion on the interior [Applause] tell you one thing this team is primed to try and win a national title and that's the goal of john de la berry since he arrived here i mean he feels they have all the resources that's why i was teasing him before they got all charged john calipari not happy with that offensive final davis take away the basket let's check in with shannon well brad billy donovan did not talk all about those three-point shots in the locker room during the halftime in fact he told his players they just need to do a better job limiting kentucky in transition and noted turnovers aided them in the first half as far as kentucky offensive rebounds that was the key calipari said they gave up 10 in the first half and they need to do a better job well he's fired up out there in the opening half minute after that foul called on davis but it's only his first yeah one thing he allowed to shoot 33 percent kentucky leads the nation at 35.8 florida shot 33 in the first half murphy short on a three young will keep it alive very quick they a second opportunity and now everything walker wraps it underneath the young nice pass he has a chance to become the all-time leading assist guy break ronnie montgomery's record he needs eight more assists to catch him good start for the gators they cut it to eight with a 48 game home winning streak you wonder who's the last team to beat kentucky it was georgia terence woodbury had 30 as the dogs beat kentucky 1985 was the last time the cats lost at home ironically enough they went on to the sec tournament the following week then they had an nit home game over at memorial not here at ruff arena so it's actually a 48 game home winning streak but it's a 47 game streak at rupp arena under john calipari and as dick said he's never lost to this building it's unbelievable what he's achieved as a coach let me tell you i'm not shocked at all if you could win in massachusetts like you did that's why i love teasing them like i said before the game i know how much a championship means to him brad and i said you know johnny makes a lot of money you got a lot of cash but you can't walk in a jewelry store and buy a ring you got to earn it like believe none of you did with that team he's kind of like you all kinds of money no range but you're in the hall of fame oh we'll give you that one thank you buddy and well deserved here's lamb out to teague for three got it i just love the way he plays under control man he was taking bad shots earlier this year he hasn't taken a bad shot yet tonight he's turned it over a little bit but he's also got six assists and actually he's got a better assisted turnover ratio than the guys that preceded him john wall and brandon knight by far actually those two guys pretty good players yeah they are tell you one thing what about cousins last night like 29 to 13 and 18 rebounds [Applause] there's one of the great players that came out as number one draft choices a couple of years ago from kentucky and they just restocked with these freshmen they have right now here's miller for three got it really squared up shooting degree everything's been reversed tonight it's been kentucky who leads or one of the leaders in certainly the scc but one of the leaders nationally but points in the paint well tonight they're shooting to three oh oh wow no chance and now young underneath the man up and he blocked another one no jabs that's elemental man that's a mismatch he's the most dominant player i'm telling he's closing that gap on thomas robinson i believe for player of the year and he has a great chance to be a grand slam winner take a look right here i said grand slam winner off the window that one got slammed and then jones tried it underneath after that one and he rejected that as well says thou shall not enter thy lane that's my first commandment says anthony two of them in one possession not bad i'm gonna tell you can you believe a chance to be player of the year freshman of the year defensive player of the year have first player in the nba draft but why not go for six mvp in the ncaa tournament and national championship [Music] [Applause] long match the back pedal hey they become intimidating that's psychologically really creates a problem for james we're gonna take a long three over miller that's not a good three round there this one might be better veal over the outstretched arm and that shot was altered believe me if you don't think so go back and look at that you'll see that beale saw that long arm coming in his face and he adjusted his shot absolutely brad there's no doubt about it coach nessler he really did he won't do shots block shots he wears in your mind when you go to bed the night before the game bottom so now kentucky with his biggest advantage up 14 with 16 45 to play miller from the elbow good shot he hurts us he hurts us he said he hurts us believe it or no baby billy has seen enough paris miller accepted his role they got six guys that lose label as starters that they rotate five guys average in double figures darius miller's one of them and he's got five in this half and florida had to stop it and try to stop the bleeding but so far tonight anthony davis has been everything that dick's talked about tonight and that we've all seen all season long and that is going out to block three-point shots for instance just dominated now here he is going to release to the goal a little screen and roll goes to the basket nobody rotates over and there he buddy is dumpsters in the first half and dick he's obviously one of your guys that's one of the contenders for player of the year you know i really am right now first voting except thomas robinson i hate to say this i love thomas but i mean i'm starting to think in waiver watching what this guy's doing this guy's absolutely such a dominator with you know to me he's worth like 50 points before the game starts without scoring a point there aren't many guys you could say are worth points just by their defense and he's wonderful murphy put an adjustment to get it to his left hand but it rattled out and kid gilchrist he's got a double double and he's fouled by again on his way down the court if i would kid gilchrist i would spend hour and hours shooting jump shots if he ever adds range to his game the sky is the limit [Applause] tonight's well over 23 000 of these posters handed out i didn't get one you get what i didn't get one of these got one and get us some posters my grandkids want those posters that shows the seven foot six inch wingspan if you will of anthony davis miller to three and this time it's field with a rebound i think they'll be a major upset if anybody else is number one in america where mr stern stands at that microphone murphy found an avenue and it came out again and more the frustration on murphy for a second he just thought i missed a left-handed hook that was halfway down and now i missed a layup another one's thinking a little bit about 18 probably see he has a great first step he can explode he changes speeds they talk a lot about him on a kentucky sports radio matt johnson company and i'll have more to talk about him after this game [Music] brian burns studio checking out big 12 action iowa state at oklahoma state markel brown finding his way to the bucket and throwing down hard cowboys with a two-point lead huge game for iowa state with 13 to play over on espn2 and just a reminder less than 50 minutes from now the big man for ohio state jared sullinger the buckeyes 38 straight at home looking to improve on that tonight guys it's coming up after kentucky and florida [Applause] all right ryan thanks on the season 10 and a half a game tonight two three-pointers is all for florida their season low is seven on five different occasions they get a lot of threes to make to get back in this game tell you one thing you know they came in fifth in the nation and sister turnover ratio syracuse is number one right now florida that is going down a little bit because they have seven turnovers and we'll have seven assists and eight turnovers so obviously that's on the negative side gilchrist capped off that three-point play he's got 13 points and 11 rebounds before the game put him on a big game put him against north carolina he rises young trying to rise up on a hook shot murphy got the offensive rebound and finally scored one around davis had to do it off the window with his left hand good effort right there by murphy from trying to pressure well the pressure worked against vanderbilt but i don't know if it's going to work against kentucky you know we're home rowdy reptiles proud luke gives you the adrenaline it's all they've played the three elite teams so far in their schedule all on the road syracuse ohio state about kentucky lost at ohio state and syracuse lost in two overtimes at rutgers and then a tennessee gamer they just got out physical those are the four losses for florida of course the lone loss for kentucky was the indiana other than that perfect uh 23 and one there is only one perfect team and that's murray state 23. they're tied with florida for the number seven spot in the national rankings had somebody give me a murray state wristband before the game as team drives in so i got a nice you're jealous aren't you i am really jealous right racer nation they've been showing me a lot of love man on twitter they want me to go down here for the black [Applause] yeah really not playing well at all you know think about the state of kentucky you got number one in the nation here kentucky you got murray state the only undefeated team development bellamon right now is number one in the nation in division two unbelievable pretty good basketball now there's a school for louisville let's play with one right now they are they put together what they've won seven in a row haven't they somewhere there they're in the top 25. blue you caught out you got really struggled has no rhythm at all ahead of last week have no offensive they really struggle terence challenge for three he's been real quiet tonight wasn't quite against south carolina he had 16 points in the first half and he played a man's basketball game in that first half and part of it maybe tonight is that he got two fouls relatively early and had to sit but so far tonight he's only got one field goal they just blow people away what they did to south carolina just blitzed by like 34. there's white open three rosario boy even when they get good looks they're not dropping they had a real good look right there off an inside outside action aaron jones says you know what i'm gonna take it all away he got it swatted down by young but he got it back good effort by jones good effort to get him a second possession patience right there i would love to see kentucky on a neutral form with north carolina ohio state syracuse that's on the drive young with a rebound on the outlet to feel it's even win the race with kid gilchrist who the best freshman in the country and he did protected the ball really well sealed off the defense put them on that right hand used his body exceptionally well he's a big-time player how'd you like to have those two guys on your wing not bad huh steel and kid gilchrists and try to get it off the window back the other way irving walker he'll give it up quite open through there still won't go and davis another rebound would say that basket right that's like a little teacup been that way all night low to two out of 15. you know it's been that way a whole season for teams playing against kentucky really you look at nobody really shoots a high percentage against it but it's so difficult to beat doesn't help when just when you think you've got an open look number 23 comes flying at you outside the arc here's a lob jones can't quite handle it on the pass for miller you know john was telling me before the game he's worried about peaking a little bit too soon you know what's really amazing when you look at the champs out there you look for example the giant suit football you think last year to packers and football mavericks and basketball connecticut and basketball none of those teams were dominant at the right time this kentucky team is rolling tonight they've been rolling up people when they blew out tennessee blew out south carolina blew out lsu and that's john hill vance rivenson oh they say lsu can't blood well they beat marquette and they say well you know south carolina beat michigan he has an answer for every one of them that's why he's a good coach that's really got to have the answers instead of the questions he's got the answers [Music] [Music] something you want to see tomorrow at six o'clock espn you all access featuring my partner dick battle special was taped at games earlier this season caroline and duke they follow you for what four days wow yeah they did helping my grandkids and my family at home said a lot of fun there you go tomorrow at six o'clock on espnu that'll be fun look what they brought us there you go anthony davis baby seven foot you got a big week now you got carolina duke tomorrow and then vandy and kentucky and get college game day on saturday should be a lot of fun i'll tell one thing though when you think about right now kentucky they're playing scary basketball brad they really are their defensive skill i mean they're blown up i mentioned john also reminded me and i forgot to say it he said you know we hear about all these teams lsu supposed to not be that good he said they beat marquette and then you think he said if you think about tennessee connecticut everybody's being connected right now he's using all those statistics and his to his advantage and tonight he's got a 17 point lead with 11 and a half to go and it might get bigger after that goes in wow i don't think the guy sleeps i really don't i don't think he's slick you know some people were tweeting they were wondering he wins he's going to the super bowl in the play of florida i said get a break what is wrong with that the guy needs a little break 20-point lead florida needs a break right now murphy misses a three no they need the bus man to start that engine and head back to gainesville marcus teague picks up his second foul kentucky their their schedule is back loaded if you will they had kind of the easier part of the schedule at vandy on saturday tough place to play ole miss at mississippi state and uh we'll be there to bring you that one jimmy dykes and i love that one from starkville vanderbilt a second time in florida a second time and the sec tournament and georgia is mixed in the middle there on march first see i think a special team to really beat him i mean billy donovan's got a very good basketball team but it's a step below this club because sort of shot blocking ability of davis on the inside he changes the whole complexion of that team saw that game on march 1st against georgia georgia the last team to beat kentucky in lexington but that was three years ago and a whole nother coach ago davis almost had a steal there he leads the club and steals two came back beale hit a three but he almost got a hand on that one i think about police club they will not quit they're gonna keep fighting scrapping again full club pressure should open up the floor and it does force a out at least with 10 36 remaining as kid gilchrist had a little trouble finding an open man 54-37 kentucky in front coming up rivalry week a couple of teams in the big ten in the sec on saturday for you six o'clock third ranked ohio state and number 12 michigan state get together ohio state riding a big winning streak as well at home 38 games for them and then number one ranked kentucky the one we're watching right now on the road in nashville against the commodores in saturday primetime presented by directv at nine o'clock kentucky and vanity also available in 3d you know brad last summer i was really blessed to get a great award the women tisdale humanitarian a year award and also at the banquet was the guy that got the diaper the of the year award and that was jared sullivan so we're sitting at the table i said jared who's gonna be sitting here next year he said take this to the bank put it down it's a lock i said oh really he said yeah anthony davis and i said come on i said what about the kid rivers and what about this hey he must know what he's talking about but he may not only be sitting there for the diaper dandy the year award he may be going out the next night and get the john wooden award and every other award and jared's going to be in that mix too oh jared a terrific kid just a great kid great family fouls on wilbur can against a half court pressure by florida i love to see that matchup the power of stellar vanessa davis on the feed from jones 68 percent four field goals all slam dunks tonight so davis came in with 70 now got 74. [Applause] deal cut off on the baseline a double team [Applause] so john delabradies guys do a great job as the architects of that defense they really build an understanding of how to play defense as a as a unit there it is flip it up flip it up from a first team sec performer to a surefire first team sec performer and anthony davis underneath surefire first team all-american absolutely guaranteed [Music] 56-37 just about midway in the half as we check in with shannon and brad anthony davis said just this week that when terence jones is playing like he's supposed to play every single guy on that court feeds off at terence jones of course he had a dislocated finger back in december sat out two games he said this week he is pretty much back to a hundred percent that splint is off and you guys can see he is out there doing what he does best and helping feed his front line teammate for some easy buckets that's another impressive stop their last game that's incredible in it young's got 10 uh 12. thank you 16 each half one turnover in the first half that was their season low three turnovers they had 17 assists so you'll take that ratio any time any time [Applause] i pick up that dribble [Applause] now lamb brings it back out on top club gives you that prolific long-range shooter take it all apart they get all the points and they're gonna have a blocking foul underneath and you get i think they could have won the national championship last year if they made free throws it would have been connecticut i think they would have beat butler i really do oh they have a little ride let's go for a little ride well it all pays off in the end because you get did pick up the foul underneath against lamb who's one of the best free-throw shooters in the conference third in fact at 82 percent tell you what you watched a guy who's not had a bad week grand lamb five for seven from the floor tonight he was six for seven against south carolina in the lopsided win on saturday you know sometimes gets a little too carried away though it really does i mean they don't expect to lose the game but when they lose they think it's the end of the world other teams get players still so far they've only lost one so that was at the buzzer wow they went absolute bananas when they lost that game trust me that was one of the great games this year in college basketball young working against davis will kick it back outside boynton has not been able to get free from any outside shots so he'll take it inside and that didn't work either it's up to digging into that traffic very tough kenny boynton number three scorer in the conference and he had two field goals in the first half and that's it a three-pointer and a deuce not a big game against vanderbilt but this is not mandible right now lamb picks up the personal on the inbound pass you know i know boynton meant well when he's quote i read his quote a paper yesterday said something you know they were going down there were plans in our cc game they're all like scc games whether it's tennessee south carolina no they're not all the same but this is not to say playing kentucky is a whole different different cap baby feeling no pun intended on a whole different cat wilbur misses a three and davis had his hand on the rebound [Applause] [Music] so kentucky cruising along looking for a 10-0 start the last three times they opened the sec 10-0 they made at least the elite eight and one of those times they were national champions in 96. 96 was well that was the year that mr patino cut the nets down and a team that was at that final four john keller massachusetts [Music] had some long winning streaks on his home floor at umass and memphis but this will be the capper this would be his 48th straight win on his home floor here at rupp arena davis pull up from the free-throw line regularly are you kidding me are you kidding me he's in double figures so what john california did at mass was unbelievable i remember doing a game against kentucky when he beat kentucky will mark his campy out of the motor city boynton finally got a better look and knocked it down his first field goal of the second half under eight minutes to play at a 18-point kentucky advantage welcome kentucky right now you want to make sure you still are efficient you still execute you don't get a little sloppy out there you don't want to get out of your rhythm and if you're in florida you want to just keep pulling and clawing and fighting you have your hip shot wow a little bit like clyde lavella you don't remember him laying back to 21 it goes and lamb much like the game over the weekend when he was perfect for three-point land tonight he's four out of five boynton answers it well points got a few points on the board but a little bit too late i would tell people go get john gassaway's column at espn on the website it's all about the dominance of kentucky and he did a great job in his analysis a little over seven minutes remaining in the ball game this guy's been sensational again tonight a shot blocking machine anthony davis not bad on offense either in double figures [Applause] espn's exclusive

remaining the only advantage florida has they have a one rebound advantage over kentucky 28-27 but dick we said at halftime maybe if they come out and shoot 55 percent they got a shot they're shooting 35 percent in the second half not good enough well that's not going to get it done for unnatural kentucky he's been doing the teams all year you know on the other side florida's held at nine straight opponents below 70 points they've been playing really well beale's had some great games against ranked teams it's all different mulligan feels at 19 with mississippi state 17 ohio state 16 against vandy 12 points for marcus teague tonight somebody's going to give when they go down here to gainesville because they have a long winning streak too yeah they won 19 in a row at home [Music] [Applause] rosario found an avenue without anthony davis in his path played with some great players when he played over at st anthony he's played with tysha taylor also played with trey woodall who's

woodward now back in the airline and what fourth street it's a long way to come wiltshire he just looked like he couldn't find anybody passing through he'll drill it himself his second three of the night you know jay bullish really lights him and i can see why he shoots the ball exceptional you got a little j in you know blender these guys are blend i'm working with those guys tomorrow threesome dan and jay i was going to say maybe a little danny fairy i saw him in here tonight oh danny zoo he's a pretty good player [Music] he could shoot from outside the yard well when you try to pit a super seven duke in north carolina which they wanted me to do for tomorrow night i mean you see the players you leave off it's unbelievable say what you would do here if you did kentucky davis pull up jumper on the baseline [Applause] [Music] [Applause] and foul gilchrist picks up the person talk about luca north carolina all the great matchups they've had over the years dick calls his 40th duke

is [Applause] someone makes no rhyme or reason other than you know cash down big east adding memphis officially in all sports today that was a good choice real memphis they needed for basketball to give a little lift this mission will lose in pittsburgh in syracuse take a look at that big easter football sometime and figure out the travel involved there with san diego state it's chaotic you just drop draw the map and and then do the math on the mileage five minutes to play in a 20-point kentucky lead florida shoots lamb knows it and it blocked as he tried to get one away you get rejected [Applause] win streaks i mean are you kidding me louis calabrese put together 47-47-33 tonight will be the new record for him though just wins and wins it wins and what a class he's got [Applause] brad you should see this shot blocker i mean he's thinking of north carolina connecticut florida gets anywhere he wants to go he can think about it america's guest it must be nice to be america's guest nobody wanted me nobody wanted me on them it's going to beg plead see i get a kick away kids know how tough they got it because everybody's chase i don't know what to do toughness is what nobody watching that's what everybody watching [Applause] kentucky now just running out the string here with four minutes and 20 seconds remaining live underneath the davis from kid gilbert that's the diagonal pass and he's putting there's a big smile he laughs that gives him a high five he's a just a winner michael king gilbert could play it bump into the team i'll pick up ten guys i don't want him on my team kenny boyd knocks down another three that's his fourth of the night but too little too late yeah boynton walker really had good careers though at florida no doubt about that roman walker has not played that much tonight actually he's a leader in minutes played of active sec players everybody getting in the act kid gilchrist back to back lobs to the big guys he's laying up some assistance teammates a little trip right outside kid gilchrist if he keeps this up would end up with a triple double he had the double double a long time ago and now he's getting the big guys in the act davis all but one of his field goals tonight have been dunks and terence jones says i can do the same thing [Music] greetings from columbus where aaron kraft is the point guard of the number three ohio state buckeyes the senior leadership comes from william buford and their star jared sullinger this team undefeated at home this year and purdue's in town coming up next brad back to you [Music] all right mike here it's a 20-point kentucky advantage 336 to play as we look at our good hands play brought to you by allstate more than one good play and more than one good shot from the outside as jeron lamb has got four threes tonight everybody so to get into the act and ironically enough there is miller hitting one welcher gonna knock one down and it's been the wildcats hitting the threes not the florida gators as we came into the game that's what we expected that florida if they could hit their three-pointers maybe had a chance well they're six for 23 which would match and be a season low if it stays that way and kentucky nine out of fifteen and that guy's got four of them nine out of fifteen all quality ones too volley shots got it within the realm of offensive set good ball movement player movement great job by kentucky tonight kelly boynton has 10 points in the second half came out early really executed a game plan attacked the three-point shooters took charge of the game totally in command i mean it's been no doubt whatsoever in kentucky [Music] and with their remaining schedule it would shock me if anybody snapped their winning streak at roughly with the way they're playing nobody on this floor nobody's floor you get blocked the pass moynton takes it the other way get a point scoring now but really won't leak yeah all late filling up the statue but he's playing hard [Applause] they got a stop or two and hit a couple threes they could get it to single digits but that's not happening that's not going to happen they're speeding too well [Applause] first thing to go for 70 against four in the last nine opponents field from the baseline a follow by you get past anybody again he really plays hard he really does limiting offensively with his skills but he gives you what he has a couple of double doubles tonight kid gilchrist had one a long time ago marcus teague has 12 points and 10 assists played under control really poised executed really well key component in basketball you better have a guy that could execute at that point just ask pittsburgh losing wood there are different clubs like having a rolls-royce and now you got an engine you know about roy oh i'm afraid right now the three freshman the senior darius miller and the sophomore terence jones on the floor and darius miller gets in the live act to davis everybody helping him out he's got 16 points now they just do a great job with that diagonal pass taking advantage of the stretch see as a team you want to take advantage of shreds and weaknesses know your stretch people kentucky's starting to file out going to the big hyatt go there have a little fun celebrating over w of big blue nation will be 10-0 24-1 don't forget purdue and ohio state coming up next ohio state with a 38-game home winning streak and the one here in lexington is about to go to 48 at rupp and 49 here in town through that alley-oop up on top tell you this that game against indiana you know

coach calipari as his knights is done and another impressive one i thought maybe get him out a little bit sooner you might take a chance of an injury man you don't need an injury he's played the game up 20. he took a weird spill against south carolina with a couple of minutes to play when he didn't need to be in there but it's going to be a 20-point win another 20-point plus win in sec play and a lot of people thought that wouldn't happen to florida in here as they came in riding a seven-game winning streak having gone nine of their last 10 but like every other opponent recently steamrolled by kentucky and it's a 20-point win 78-58 just too front out too good defensively the defense suffocates anthony davis his stock keeps going up and up brad and he's getting closer and closer to being the

pretty good we're pretty long and active which makes it tough they had 10 offensive rebounds at halftime i don't know how many they had the second half probably not many because of the score but we made some shots duran shot the ball well darius shot the ball marcus teague is running my team and doing a good job and then michael 15 rebounds or whatever and i got a good team i got a good team
