UK comes flying out of the gate. They go right at South Carolina. They press. They run and they are hitting shots.

UK hits 4 of their first 5 shots. They get the fast start thanks to Doron Lamb who hits 2 three's and gets 8 quick points as UK goes up 14-8 at the 15:21 mark when the first TV time out appears.

UK then put on a big time dunking show. I've never seen any records on this, but the Cats scored 4 buckets in a row on dunks as they hit 8 of their first 10 shots.

Terrence Jones dunks to make it 17-10. He's smiling as he comes down the court.

Anthony Davis with a flying dunk on a good feed by Darius Miller.

Then it's Davis again on a pass from Teague.

Terrence Jones finishes the dunking party to make it 23-10.

With the Cats up 31-18, Anthony Davis has 6 points, 4 blocks and 3 rebounds.

Davis with another dunk to make it 38-20. UK is in the process of a 17-2 run.

Terrence Jones with a very strong move to the bucket, 41-20 UK.

Davis dunks again. Nice feed by Michael Kidd-Gilchrist. UK goes up 44-22.

Lamb's third 3 of the half makes it 48-25. Lamb didn't miss a shot in the first half. He had 11 points.

I have UK with 8 dunks.

Jones and Davis have outscored South Carolina. They have 34 points. Carolina has 25. UK leads 52-25 at the half.

UK is shooting 58%.

South Carolina can't throw it in the ocean. They are at 26%.

The second half had no excitement except for one thing. Would Anthony Davis get a triple double.

Chris Mills did it in 1988 against Austin Peay with 19,10 and 10.

Davis does get the Freshman SEC block record at 116.

Davis got two more quick dunks in the second half to make it 59-25 UK.

He finishes with 22 points on 9 of 10 from the field, 8 rebounds, 8 blocks, and 2 steals.

Doron Lamb was 6 of 7 from the field. That includes 3 of 3 from downtown. He finishes with 18 points, which is his best total since playing Samford on December 20th. Plus, he pulled down four rebounds.

Terrence Jones once again stepped up his play with 16 points, 6 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 steals.

UK hit 52% of their shots.

South Carolina was awful hitting only 30%.

UK beat South Carolina on the board 41-30.

If Davis isn't SEC player of the week, there needs to be an investigation.

Kyle Wiltjer made it four Cats in double figures. The freshman forward finished with 13. It's the fourth time this year he finished in double figures.

Cats destroy South Carolina 86-52.
