They said the game because of the lack of fans felt at times a bit more like a scrimmage.

Four minutes to play.

Kentucky up to David on meds, drives, misses.

Olivier Sar is there for the putback dunk, but he misses, too.

Oh, how that one went.

Kansas takes over and Jalen Wilson Hell of a second half 21 of his 23 in the second group.

Okey a body drilling.

The three.

It's 17 points.

Three point lead for Kansas.

The nobody's gonna miss after missing the first one.

That's a second miss, but thank you, Christian Braun.

Offensive rebound and then Kentucky has to foul.

Okay.

Braun one of two at the line.

Kentucky down four with 20 seconds to play mints.

Tough shot.

That's a to write.

Probably take a look at that again.

They've review it.

Change it to three was, in fact, behind the line.

So Kentucky, down one with about 12.5 to play after Kansas.

Make up two free throws.

Kentucky down three with 10 seconds to play and it's not gonna go well.

Coach Cal said his team was punked by Kansas but that they have to go through stuff like this.

It's part of the learning process.

Perhaps so, too, is starting one and two to the season for Kentucky.

Kansas holds on to win, 65 62.

If I was Bill so I'd be so happy because my team was held to 29% from the floor and 23% from the three and we win.

And let me tell you what they did us in the second half.

They pumped us.

They just got that we couldn't even bringing the ball.

He didn't have a field at all of a game if they had a field of a scrimmage and, uh but I mean, guys competed and they played hard.

Certainly it's it's good to know that you could get behind and come back, and I think that that's probably one of the things that we learned on this trip.

They also learned how effective Jalen Wilson could be because Kansas trail it six by the half and as many as 13.

But then Jalen Wilson, after scoring just two points in the first half.

He dropped the 21 in the second half, compared that to Kentucky.

The entire Kentucky team combined to score 27.

We say hello now to our Seth Greenberg.

How did the Jayhawks basically take over from the very start of the second half?

I think John Calipari is right.

They did punk, this Kentucky team.

They pumped a young Kentucky team on the defense event.

They got up underneath Kentucky.

They pushed him well outside their comfort zone.

They contested every pass, every catch, every dribble, handoff.

They made it impossible for this young Kentucky team to run off its watch right here.

Good switch.

Which again?

Good pressure on the basketball contested hard shot.

That's really good defense, but Kentucky had no answers.

They could not get into offense.

Look how far they're starting their offense, that he can't be the post that far away from the basket, that just the way it is and when they turn them over a turnovers.

11 points in the second half.

They actually did punk Kentucky, but I wouldn't say punk them.

Their defense basically imposed its will on the game, and that was the difference in the game besides Wilson.

All right, stick around, coach, because we've got to get to Michigan State and Duke.

Number eight.

Michigan State visiting number six Dude in the Champions Classic they'd never won in Durham.

Freshman Jalen Johnson, coming up in 19.9 rebound performance, is going to drive here.

Reverse.

Pretty good.

So do you.

Could have an early lead, but Johnson find himself in foul trouble in the first half.

Can't play over a minute til halftime window More.

Junior misses the three.

They missed a lot of them.

Duke missed 14 of their verse 15 3 point of Tim's, and on the other end, Aaron Henry drives and makes him pay.

Michigan State would go on a 13 to 4 runs in the half, and Sparty leads 37 33 at intermission.

Second half we go.

Duke down 10.

Now a pick by Henry and then Ladies and Mr Rocket.

What's I don't know That was going to be afraid.

I watched how I feel about it, but I like it.

Team high 20 points for Rocket Under tend to play Sparty pulling away with this thing.

Julius Marble throws it down.

In fact, here's what Julie has had to say about that emphatic dunk.

It felt really good because, you know, Red Duke, and, you know, I kind of hate Duke.

So in order to do that, it felt really good under six to go.

Can they do it?

Yes, they can.

Jordan Jordan gold wire gets the rebound, passes it right to Henry, who decides to throw it down for the one handed dunk.

So Michigan State finally get their first win at Cameron Indoor.

But there were no crazy.

So coaches Oh, does that mean anything or no.

One thing.

I'm not gonna put this as an Astra's no fans or not fans.

You know, It was a good win for us against a good team, a great program in a very, very well coached team.

I think they're able to play at a consistent, consistently high level because of their experience and depth better than we are right now.

It wasn't lack of effort or anything like we just got to get a custom.

It's a 10 round fight, you know you can't fight seven rounds, eight rounds.

You gotta worry to fight the whole whole 10 rounds.

Can you blame is over saying it's not an Astros game.

There was a couple of first on this.

One fact, it's the first time time is those one a regular season matchup with Coach K and 10 games.

He does have a pair of NC double A tournament wins over Duke's coach.

It's also the first time that, as I mentioned, Sparty won on the road against Duke and Duke certainly struggled against the Spartans.

Tough defense.

They shot just 27% on contested shots, going 12 for 45 I mentioned how bad they were beyond the arc.

As we bring back in, Coach Seth Greenberg is back with us.

So how did Sparty is experience over the course of this game?

Play a big role in the eventual victory over Duke Coach.

I think both of these games kind of mirrored each other young teams that didn't understand that.

It's a 40 minute game.

You've got to compete for 40 minutes.

Both teams took leads in the first half.

Duke there obviously and also did Kentucky, but they couldn't maintain that intensity.

You know, early on they were the Attackers.

They got up on underneath.

Michigan State created turnovers today.

Once Michigan State started to take care of the basketball on fourth Duke into the half court Duke inability to execute in the half court, then Michigan State.

Just attack them in transition to attack them off the bounce played with better spacing on.

Then it got great bench play.

Marvel was terrific.

Hall was terrific.

They get 22 points off the bench and then they're veterans.

Rocket Watts coming off, beat people off the bounce, making runners and then Aaron Henry.

That was the difference again.

The maturity of Michigan State.

The maturity of Kansas over, basically in experience of both Kentucky and do thanks for watching ESPN on YouTube for live streaming sports and premium content.
