He also is a better defender than Perry is right now in my opinion.

Yeah, not even close and I think it's particularly due to Chandler's size and athleticism. 

Great start by the Cats! They are on an 8-0 run and lead the Illini now by 13 their biggest of the game at 45-32. Timeout Illinois with 17:32 to play.

Hard to have a better start than that!

Boswell is keeping them in this one.

Hey there we go guys two dunks by Williams this half!!??

Cats led 14 at 53-39 at the under 16 media timeout with 14:58 left to play. This is an important 4 minutes we need to keep the foot on the accelerator. 

Illinois has done a great job of making Kentucky's defense look good.

Agreed. Let's stretch this lead to 20+ and not look back. 

The Cats have the largest led of the game at 16 at 55-39.

You just know Williams thinking finger-roll on those two dunks.

We have started not switching on the pick and roll and have given up 6 straight!

A big 3 by Chandler! We needed that bigtime! 

Three straight 3's for Illinois to cut a 16-point led down to 9 and timeout Kentucky. The Cats led 60-51 with 11:46 to play.

I don’t feel like Illinois can sustain this three point clip. 
 

But that said, that was a terrible shot by Oweh that helped prop the door open. 

A great timeout by Coach Pope and the Cats are on a 5-0 run and back up by 14!
