00:03 - A top 12 tilt in Lexington between Kentucky,

00:06 number 12 in the recent AP poll

00:08 that came out on Monday afternoon,

00:10 and number eight Miami.

00:11 Of course, the Hurricanes in elite 18

00:14 each of the past two years,

00:15 not just the elite eight last year

00:17 for coach L and the Canes,

00:19 they made it to the final four.

00:21 Number eight in the land versus number 12

00:24 in all of the sport.

00:25 And yesterday DRS Kentucky looked apart 95-73

00:30 pulling away in the second half.

00:33 And off the bench, Reed Shepard

00:35 for coach Cal and the Cats,

00:37 a team high 21 points.

00:39 The bench was the difference last night for Kentucky,

00:42 a 22 point win Kentucky easily covers

00:46 as a five and a half point home favorite.

00:49 - Yeah, 53 points in the second half

00:50 for the Kentucky Wildcats at home.

00:52 That's certainly sensational.

00:53 And usually from a Kentucky Wildcats perspective,

00:55 it's usually a lot of young guys

00:57 where you try to say, okay,

00:58 let's figure out what we're doing here

01:00 in November and December.

01:01 By the time we get the conference play,

01:02 we're feeling better.

01:03 By the time we get to March Madness,

01:05 we got a couple NBA players ready to let loose

01:07 on the country and see if we can win a championship.

01:09 Looks like we're getting started

01:10 a little bit sooner than later.

01:11 That's a really big victory

01:12 against a top 10 Miami Hurricanes team

01:14 that's also a veteran laden team.

01:16 And I also didn't see,

01:17 I see DJ Wagner only 10 minutes played

01:19 and five points scored, no personal fouls.

01:22 I'm not sure if they got injured

01:23 or not in that game,

01:24 but there were a couple of guys,

01:25 you said Shepard and Dillingham,

01:26 30 minutes and 22 minutes off of the bench.

01:28 I believe we talked yesterday with John Rothstein saying,

01:30 the problem might be that they're not as deep

01:32 on either one of these teams here,

01:33 but if you're gonna get start play,

01:35 like 14, nine, 11, five, 18, 21, and 12,

01:38 that sounds like a lot of balance scoring to me

01:40 for the Kentucky Wildcats,

01:41 almost hitting the hundred mark against the Hurricanes

01:43 who really make their bones a lot, Ben,

01:45 by playing really good defense.

01:46 That's a great night for the Wildcats.
