#8 Kentucky vs Illinois State Highlights | NCAA Men’s Basketball | 2023 College Basketball

We are inside R Arena tonight for kuy’s final game before conference play begins next team in college basketball the offense Damien as you have outlined wonderfully they thriving they have flourished to start here we go Kentucky and those home whites Illinois State again visiting from Normal Illinois it’s

Not far from Chicago in the Reds and they start by Edwards this time he beats him off the dribble missed the layup and secures his own Miss Darius B F left it short and the rebound they have to be the more physical team to continue to be

In this basketball game for 40 minutes of play it’s their toughest test of the Year by far and there is five it’s the afor mention berford so number 10 in the white Edwards poked that one away beneficiary of beneficiary of the lead feed do when you think about Kentucky

Though the job that they do with 9.2 steals per game that’s a nice cut so the senior from a lot of seniors senior from there’s 10 on the roster so Ryan Pon has a very veteran group Edwards knock better Wagner can shoot it better Edwards can shoot it

Better they just got to continue to get more chemistry and work together Foster again for of the floor you mentioned the ceiling is high it’s it’s very high they already average about 90 91 points per game Wagner to the cup fish and they have been playing

To your point at a torid pace this year Banks into the paint jump stop back out to Foster and he buries mismatch inside Lewis is trying to post up Wagner they can’t get it to him it’s that Long Reach Bradshaw and Mitchell blocked the entry pass Banks

The job by Illinois State getting the looks that they want this is the end where Kentucky has to pick it up it’s on the defensive end point Dexter couldn’t hit the in Illinois State and that’s what they’re going to have to continue to work on especially on the defensive

End they’ve got eight senior after spending 5 years on Chris Holman staff at Ohio State great recruiter he’s got strong ties to Ohio in the midwest so he is building his CRI built upon the work and a winning mentality winning Above All Else Dillingham driveing kick short

Corner jumper what Coach Cal who’s one of the best to ever do it in college basketball is trying to show these guys and you’re right 11 12 games through they have been able to outscore teams selecting over the last few years he led the MVC in scoring fish a couple years

Ago then hits the portal and boy he has really evolved into one of the leagues Dillingham off the screen cut off nicely that time by kasuki gets by him and then fouled ball screen that time they hard hedge and end up switching it so they’re playing it differently now more on how Illinois

State is going to have to play Reed Shepard a like a professional athlete already Banks off balance 15-footer there’s the seven-footer lead came down with the offensive board on yenso UK is out rebounding its opponents by 5.3 a game and averaging 6.5 blocks they’re a different team now yeah Ken zigger

Foster bumping into oneno puts it up somehow is able to you know two years of junior varsity basketball that I remember from way back in the day here here’s Shepard even just a sliver of space can beat you Bradshaw on the have the awareness in the athletic system to

Get back to your man especially if it’s a quality shooter like Shephard that’s exactly [Applause] right again Kentucky has a team shooting 41% from Beyond The Arc Bradshaw tried to point lead then watch Kentucky go on a N9 nothing run so the wild cats are up five Foster very agressive underneath he’s

Going back to the free throw certainly has the weight Advantage good pass pass Dillingham out to Shepard it was kininger who closed him out there’s a foul before the it was Lewis who Let It Go Dillingham number zero in the white always a blur how about Wagner little

Crossover special they scored 80 against Memphis last month or I guess should say a few weeks ago highs scoring Rebels team this year Shephard just an effort angles which is what they’re trying to do with screening whether it’s ball screens or like this triple screen to

Come across and roll to the basket oh like father like son four to shoot Reeves now has to improvise the three that’s off they have played in some lower possession games they only average about 68 69 points per game off balance Runner that’s nice Jordan by the Wizards a couple years

Ago yep dad play for the Milwaukee Bucks as well Shephard misfires from Deep that I think they should be much better at with all their length and athleticism Mitchell the vet into the paint now it’s Reeves knives through got it and Wagner Edwards and Bradshaw in the starting lineup Shephard Dillingham coming off

The bench y but just those presences of Mitchell and Reeves to your point both are critical couple of buckets here for Illinois state they’re trying to hang in this one well berer can put up points in a hurry reev Splash fish is five of seven to start from the floor and he’s

Just been locked in berford Plants his feet goes up bulked up added some muscle in the off season and he’s led the way averaging about 14 a game well so when you’re looking at that Scouting Report you’ve got to prepare for everyone six to shoot Davis wants another that three back and Kentucky

Resets Mitchell’s asking for the basketball on the Block he’s got po Dexter on him kicks out to to an open Edwards no there’s the seven-footer Le started at Illinois finds po Dexter that’s good movement away so much of this basketball game is played when you do not have the

Basketball in your hand learn to move without the basketball Wagner that quick burst Dillingham down at the board they are a blur in transition Wagner sets and fires and connects Coach Cal would not like that Rob Dillingham did not get on the floor Illinois state did on yenso

Running had to endure a foot surgery earlier this year missed the first eight games of the year berford on the reverse backs outed leave close range for a moment Shephard bails him out to the corner Dillingham yes you 59% from the floor in this first half 8 seconds

To go berford wide open left it short lead the follow and a whist yeah we we talked about their ability to win a National Championship part of that ability will be displayed by the maturity or lack of maturity that we they’ve got a couple of encouraging wins fish including two in conference play

They’ve already started MVC Play 2 and0 wins against Murray State and UI he goes back to work on this end where they shot 59% from the floor in the first half Edwards an assertive he put Darius berford in a close out position which enhances Edward’s game and ability to get to the

Rim Point Dexter same SP play right around the corner and that’s exactly how he should be acting again he’s averaging about 18 a game banks that time beats his man off the dribble they were intense they rebounded the basketball uh they have to play with that same consistency and I

Love the fact that illo Illinois State’s not backing say West Virginia Fifth and final year of college troops in Kentucky Point Dexter aggressive Baseline Drive Dolph Kansas at home and we talked about Old Miss earlier over Memphis and Arkansas what a big one at home versus Duke and then the agies over Ohio

State and he is the nation’s best three-point shooter it’s not like he’s only taken one or two threes a game leading three-point Shooters minimum four attempts per game y four that’s an adequate amount also Shephard takes four a game so that helps put back here for and after the double double against

Louisville last week named the SEC rookie of the week Lewis got a had it take it away I mean Shephard is everywhere right now the block the steal might as well take it instead maybe he’s getting an assist here yep Illinois State trying to hang tough here Kentucky on the move again

Dillingham underneath Burks got one man flying scores by quality depth they’ve got guys that do different things but they all are impactful in assets for this wild cat team Mitchell you know he’s good looks just hadn’t been able to knock down shots and when you can’t do

That that’s when you have to do like Ryan peton said and try to get to the rim Banks connect Al banks in this second half they’ve hit three triples but Kentucky just is Relentless keep F break point advantage over Illinois State and this is a red birds team that

Is going to be competitive in the MVC this year about Belmont in the league now you’ve got Drake who was dominant last year made a quality run uh it’s a league where this game right herea tournament berford into double figures now for a seventh straight game Illinois

State in Normal Illinois no place like playing in this place you know what I mean yeah you know I I very seldom lost in this place but look at this crowd you know this is this is is what Kentucky basketball is all about have been ranked

And you know when you look at this Kentucky Wildcat team obviously they’re up 20 plus points today but what do you think is going to be the the significance of what they’re involved in just keep the mentality of just playing freely and continue to get better defensively from like that it’s tough

But I love the cohesiveness and the and the and the Personnel of this basketball team and I think they got a chance to go real far and be very very what does he want to do going for well sha wizard is just taking a breath you know what I

Mean just breathing a little bit uh analyzing you know what’s his next move I can go years ago you know what I mean they barely remember Jamal murn you know Richie Farmer John pel Darren FH housee and those guys were household names back then but it’s a

Kid good good morals you know what I’m saying because I look at transfers not as quitters but not staying the course used to be used being disciplined being having a a Winner’s mentality being selfless all these guys are looking for the next fix to to to try to figure out

How they can get off turn around jump hook that’s exactly what coach Ryan peton said that he looks for winners in culture type guys you got to have it to win basketball games especially but that team is what wins you games sure and the teams that come together the most at the

Right time is the teams that win and I think the beauty of themselves every single day and that’s good for coaching you know Cen got to motivate because they know that hey this other guy can play just as good as I can I better through four years you know what I mean

It’s tougher now to mold a team of new guys especially young guys who just in the prom in May from a recruiting standpoint of getting the right mix and a big part of that is Reed sheeper I think yeah well you talked about recruit so I think it goes without

Saying daav you set it right off the top that so there’s a lot that will will unfold yeah I can’t wa so far good signs yeah Burks maybe a little more colorful language I was never good at Trash Talk Dillingham up ahead the Reeves he going

To the line for Hall of Fame ballot about time I think he’s a no-brainer and he’s always been a Halland Famer he continues to prove that it’s a deep post catch that time by F to defend for 40 minutes and Coach Ryan peton will love the way that his team attacked the glass

They just haven’t made enough shots throughout the night yeah on the glass they’re actually 20 they have a 21 to6 offensive rebound Advantage now it’s hard to get offensive rebounds and he is just a Bonafide scorer and shooter this pass on yenso sends it back Dillingham burs throw down couple minutes away from

Improving to 10 and two yeah really sound basketball throughout the entire go with that in 33 minutes pretty efficient as well Illinois state has four scores and double figures Wagner to the bucket for non-conference game we got the extra week this year so they play Gaz zag in February Here Comes

Dillingham throw down it’s a game in essence can I be honest after the windmill and the loville game woo look out minut left the G less than a minute to go now kuy’s got 94 that one is down for Point Kentucky scored 118 earlier this year against Marshall Dillingham back into the paint

Tapped in on yenso that’s pure Kentucky opens up SEC play next week with a 10 and2 record and after Billy D and Dale Brown have more and of course the great adol rup coach Cowell on his way final 96
