The Kentucky standout showed no mercy against Arkansas

No. 1 Kentucky is rolling against No. 18 Arkansas in the first half Saturday in a match up of two of the best in the SEC. While Willie Cauley-Stein has had a quiet day offensively, he’s been a menace defensively grabbing rebounds and swatting Arkansas shots.

Early in the first half, Cauley-Stein made his presence felt defensively when Arkansas forward Alandise Harris went up for a dunk.

Harris and everyone watching thought the Arkansas forward had an open easy dunk to slam home. However, with a player like Cauley-Stein on the floor, nothing is ever open or easy for opposing teams.

Before Harris could even get near the rim, Cauley-Stein came flying into swat Harris.

The force behind the block was enough to knock Harris off-balance and cause him to crash right into the floor.

Kentucky continues to chase their dream of being the first undefeated team since 1976.

While Arkansas is one of the better teams that Kentucky will face in the SEC, if they roll through them, it will be hard to imagine anyone knocking off the Wildcats when the conference tournament starts.

Kentucky has an intimidating front court with Cauley-Stein and Karl Anthony-Towns. As Arkansas and Harris learned today, if you enter the paint, there is a good chance that your shot is going to be destroyed.
