[whistle] jim: here comes the show. look at how tight they get. it's just upstairs. very infrequently they have to dribble much to get their dunks. they just look for one another and that's a domination. 40-18 in the paint. verne: darden backs away. andrew harrison out to guard. here's his brother aaron harrison crossover and guess who's there? and the foul is going to be called underneath on dakari johnson. well, jim pick the team you feel is the best kentucky team. the 1954 bunch declared ineligible. pitino led them to a national time -- title. jim: i'm going with this team. i think depth wise, stacks up. verne: the point you made earlier is relevant. the game has changed so much. jim: uh-huh. you know going back years with some of those teams verne the way the game was played, i used to always refer to it as, you know you have to be fundamentally sound and athletic to play this game. you have to understand it, know it. now i think the athletic side of it has taken an age. you still have to have the fundamentals but athletically it's impressed me the last 15, 20 years how the kids have gotten bigger and stronger and faster. they've gotten away a little bit from the fundamentals and it's hard to bring them back to the fundamentals. that's half the challenge for john calipari. how do you get 10 high school all-americans to sacrifice for the team? and he's figured out how to do it. verne: four fouls on jervon pressley. [whistle] the foul is going to be called on quinton chievous number three. i beg your pardon. harrison. i saw chievous wind of wince but it was from the pain. and now he's going to limp to the free-throw. jim: i like some of the expressions of the hampton players sitting on the bench. verne: well, they have, i'm sure enjoyed the y enjoyed participating. jim: hampton will get a lot of mileage out of this, which is good. they deserve that. verne: student body of just over 4,000. look at chievous get up. jim: just don't know what the word "quit" means. verne: loose ball. it will be hampton ball. four fresh bodies coming on for kentucky. the second round continues tomorrow with the tip-off show. that's on trutv at 11 eastern. 16 games across cbs tbs, tnt and trutv tomorrow. you decide the games to watch. jim: georgia-michigan state team to me on paper usually does. he had to get the guys ready for the end of the season. they gave them a little run for their money 10 days ago whatever it was. verne: here at the other end. booker. towns back to booker. open three. trey lyles goes for it. can't control i. jim: that was a good example of their unselfish play. booker got it to the post and a better look to take his shot. verne: chievous, jumper. rattled it in. jim: the interesting part to me vernon, we've spoken about it guys at the ncaa level a college level are just not used to turning on the perimeter and having this many tall guys to come out and really attack you on the perimeter and then can retreat if you go by them. they have one guy who is about seven feet tall and they let the other two taller guys in the front line go after people. verne: ulis answered a three with a three. here's chievous. 73-47. chievous has 22. he's actually a graduate student.

[whistle] touched last by dakari johnson. -- number 44. chievous with the miss. dakari johnson with the loose ball rebound. [whistle] harrison is fouled. i think it's safe to advance kentucky to the next game. they have looked terrific after a sloppy start tonight. and they will meet cincinnati. a lot of the folks have left tomorrow and tnt west virginia buffalo and maryland, valparaiso. jim: cincinnati's a team that we've watched earlier tonight. they're a team that just doesn't go away. they obviously have a challenge here. but i have jokingly said to a few of my friends. i looked at the matchups real fast. i said watch out for cincinnati. when they meet up with kentucky just joking with them but that part has come true. so we'll see what happens. but everybody picks a team. you have to pick the team next if you're against kentucky, right?
