Kentucky Puts On Clinic Against Hampton

Karl-Anthony Towns recorded a double-double in Kentucky's 79-56 win over Hampton.

Tags: NCB, Hampton Pirates, Kentucky Kentucky

LOUISVILLE, Ky. -- Take away the sluggish start and the ragged finish, and top-ranked Kentucky opened the NCAA tournament opener the way it wanted against 16th-seeded Hampton.
Karl-Anthony Towns bounced back from a mini-slump with 21 points and 11 rebounds, Andrew Harrison added 14 points and the Wildcats rolled to a 79-56 win over the outmanned Pirates on Thursday night in the Midwest Region.

The top-seeded Kentucky Wildcats took care of business by beating the No. 16 seed Hampton Pirates. Here are five observations. Story

Getting started took some doing for Kentucky (35-0), which was already resigned to the late tipoff. The Wildcats' wait became even longer as Cincinnati fought to a 66-65 overtime win over Purdue in the preceding game.
That made for an uneven night as the Wildcats shook some cobwebs and seemed to tire late. Fortunately for Kentucky, it did what it needed in between.
"I didn't like how we started the game. I didn't quite like how we finished the game, but it is one o'clock at night," said coach John Calipari, who nonetheless called it a good win. "And we had an overtime game where the guys were hanging out in the locker room for an hour and half, so I'm going to chalk it up to that and move on."
One who seemed fresh throughout was Towns, whose game needed the jump-start.
Limited by foul trouble the past two games, the 6-foot-11 freshman was forceful all night without getting careless in helping the Wildcats cruise to the site's most lopsided outcome of the day after three one-point finishes at the KFC Yum! Center.
"One thing I did tell them in the huddles," Calipari added, "you have to respect the fact that we're throwing you the ball every time down. And if you get double-teamed, you must pass it because you've got to respect the guys that are passing you the ball. So if we do -- and Hampton didn't trap, which is why he had all those baskets."
Trey Lyles added 10 points and six rebounds, Tyler Ulis scored 11 and Willie Cauley-Stein grabbed 11 rebounds for the Wildcats, who face Cincinnati on Saturday.
Hampton's Quinton Chievous shook off an ankle injury suffered in Tuesday's First Four upset of Manhattan to score 22 points with 10 rebounds. But the Pirates (17-18) were no match for Kentucky after the first 10 minutes and trailed by as many as 35 midway through the second half.
Hampton shot just 29 percent from the field.

A Historic Day

Thursday was full of thrills and close contests, with five games decided by one point. Since the NCAA tournament expanded to 64 teams in 1985, there had never been more than three one-point games on the first full day of tournament play.

After the wild day, which included a few upsets, just 273 out of 11.57 million ESPN Tournament Challenge brackets were a perfect 16-for-16. On the other end of the spectrum, there were two brackets with no correct games Thursday.

"When you come with two 7-footers and bring two more 7-footers off the bench, it can begin to wear you down, and I think that was a problem for us," Hampton coach Edward Joyner Jr. said. "They just wore us down."
Though Kentucky had just three days of rest before beginning the final phase of its quest to become the program's first unbeaten national champions, the Wildcats benefited from having to travel just 85 miles west for their tournament opener. The home court of in-state archrival Louisville has served them well in the tournament, providing the launching point for their last NCAA title in 2012.
Kentucky had an arena full of blue-clad fans loudly cheering for more good fortune. Big Blue Nation was also patient, waiting through an overtime warm-up between Cincinnati and Purdue before the game finally started at 10:19 p.m. ET.
Hampton made things intriguing for a few minutes with a 4-3 lead and later a 9-all tie that pleased its contingent of fans. Kentucky took charge from there, gaining its first double-digit lead with about six minutes left in the first half and didn't look back.
It just took a little time.
"We just stay loose, walking around, just keep moving and just keep talking to each other," Towns said of the delay.
LOSS OF A FRIEND
Columnist Ira Combs, 61 and a fixture at Wildcats games, died earlier Thursday after collapsing while preparing to pick up NCAA tournament credentials. Calipari, Kentucky athletic director Mitch Barnhart and NCAA president Mark Emmert expressed sympathies for a founder of the Joe B. Hall Prep Classic named for the former Wildcats coach.
TIP-INS
Hampton: Deron Powers recorded both of the Pirates' assists, one in each half.
Kentucky: The Wildcats shot 46 percent, outrebounded Hampton 51-31 and controlled the paint 44-20. ... Towns and Cauley-Stein combined for all five Kentucky blocks.
HAMPTON: Season ends.
KENTUCKY: Faces Cincinnati on Saturday.
