- 0:44Speaker 4: this is how you start our day all day two,
- 0:47Speaker 4: but really just players making big plays. There were stretches
- 0:51Speaker 4: where a three was made. I said there was no
- 0:54Speaker 4: way without own way at the half in man, he
- 0:57Speaker 4: came up huge, huge, huge.
- 0:59Speaker 2: The second half of Specially Charged.
- 1:00Speaker 1: Especially half the second half was clat out amazing. Uh
- 1:05Speaker 1: this kid man, nice spin.
- 1:07Speaker 5: Move oga, Oh way, what a game of a career

- 1:15Speaker 3: That's a shot by Alan Grave that you bought won
- 1:20Speaker 3: the game until oh thanks it in the forrest ot
- 1:26Speaker 3: and then the ot.
- 1:27Speaker 5: It was all Kentucky. Garrison with one of two blocks
- 1:33Speaker 5: and he was Gallilugof. He had six and two of
- 1:36Speaker 5: them back to back on three point attempts by Gava Lougolf.
- 1:39Speaker 5: And there you see it. The Wildcats survived. What a game?
- 1:45Speaker 5: What a game? And if I could just channel j R.
- 1:50Speaker 3: Who was not anarchy, it's just college basketball.
- 1:55Speaker 2: And he was on the sideline for his hits.
- 1:57Speaker 5: Was up to hear interview for the take a.
- 2:00Speaker 2: Way moments to go through and Kentucky's gonna face the
- 2:02Speaker 2: winner of our next game here on CBS Iowa State
- 2:05Speaker 2: and Tennessee State. And I'm sorry Herb said that didn't
- 2:08Speaker 2: get that that time out.
- 2:10Speaker 1: He was trying to get it earlier. But that was
- 2:12Speaker 1: amazing to see. Listen, this is what this term is
- 2:15Speaker 1: all about. And I really think in fairness, uh, they
- 2:19Speaker 1: got kind of job a little bit because if when
- 2:22Speaker 1: the kid made the heck of a shot for Santa Clara,
- 2:25Speaker 1: I one, not ninety nine, not fifty nine, I one
- 2:30Speaker 1: hundred percent of the time, thank you, foul. But because
- 2:33Speaker 1: they didn't have they didn't call time out, they didn't
- 2:37Speaker 1: have an opportunity. And I was like, and the kid
- 2:39Speaker 1: just made a heck of a shot. But I always
- 2:42Speaker 1: believe you fould, But like I say, I'm gonna give
- 2:43Speaker 1: him a pass in that situation because they didn't call
- 2:46Speaker 1: time out and the kids didn't know it. But he
- 2:48Speaker 1: just make a heck of a shot. But if the
- 2:50Speaker 1: thing was Kentucky, Man, they got to find a way
- 2:53Speaker 1: to play faster because they're half court offense. They're not
- 2:56Speaker 1: a good shooting team. But they got to find a
- 2:59Speaker 1: way because they got away today. But when they played
- 3:03Speaker 1: probably Overstate next round, they're gonna have to find a
- 3:06Speaker 1: way to score in the half court because their full
- 3:09Speaker 1: court offense, that's all they got going right now.
- 3:11Speaker 5: Well, if that's what you have, then you just need
- 3:13Speaker 5: to make it happen. And they did that in the
- 3:14Speaker 5: second half. They turned them over, turn turned the Broncos over,
- 3:17Speaker 5: got out in the open court, got a bunch of
- 3:19Speaker 5: drives to the basket in that second half, and still
- 3:23Speaker 5: needed a hit. A heroic shot will forced the overtime.
- 3:26Speaker 5: But that's when they are at their best, Charles, I agree.
- 3:28Speaker 5: When they can get out in the open court with
- 3:30Speaker 5: Aberdeen and obviously way, that's when they're at the best.
- 3:34Speaker 5: And Chandler had a tough day shooting. He's now standing
- 3:37Speaker 5: three point shooter, and he got some good looks. I
- 3:39Speaker 5: can't imagine that he'll shoot it as poorly in game two.
- 3:43Speaker 2: Definitely.
- 3:43Speaker 4: I mean he'll have he can have an opportunity for
- 3:45Speaker 4: a bounce back.
- 3:46Speaker 2: That's right, exactly the happiest.
- 3:48Speaker 4: Person in the locker room. But to that point, Kentucky
- 3:50Speaker 4: went on three two minute plus drought of not scoring,
- 3:55Speaker 4: but then about getting it done in overtime. Then they
- 3:57Speaker 4: went on their own run eight to oh run in overtime.
- 4:00Speaker 4: That kind of gave him to push your head. But
- 4:01Speaker 4: those two minute droughts are not gonna like this. It
- 4:04Speaker 4: worked tonight, Clara, but you can't have that.
- 4:06Speaker 1: Many And and in fairness, it was bad offense by
- 4:10Speaker 1: Santa Clara, all right, a bad decision on.
- 4:13Speaker 5: The three point shot, a much bigger defense, and man,
- 4:16Speaker 5: you got to fight this.
- 4:17Speaker 2: Du have to take.
- 4:22Speaker 1: Renee. And Senior said, oh, I'm gonna cook the big guy.
- 4:26Speaker 1: And I'm offended as a big guy. I'm not gonna
- 4:28Speaker 1: let you shoot the three. She says, I'm just gonna
- 4:30Speaker 1: dance out there and back up and shoot it in
- 4:32Speaker 1: your eye. I said, I'm gonna make you shoot, uh,
- 4:36Speaker 1: make you drive. And a kid from Santa Clara like
- 4:40Speaker 1: three times down the stretch. He tried to shoot over
- 4:43Speaker 1: seven foot and got the shot block. And that's how
- 4:45Speaker 1: they got the eight.
- 4:45Speaker 2: Oh run exactly exactly, and that's how Garrison aged.
- 4:53Speaker 5: You misjudged the length. Ye shouldn't have happened twice, but
- 4:58Speaker 5: it did happen the first time.
- 5:00Speaker 1: You don't get a layupe, you know I'm not gonna
- 5:02Speaker 1: let you.
- 5:02Speaker 5: Shoot a three.
- 5:04Speaker 2: One. Last thing by the way, about Otega oh way.
- 5:06Speaker 2: Not just the historic shot, a historic line. Oh yeah,
- 5:09Speaker 2: the thirty five points, eight rebounds and seven assists. That
- 5:12Speaker 2: has not been done in a tournament game since Larry
- 5:16Speaker 2: Bird
