Here’s how to watch Friday’s Sweet 16 heavyweight matchup between UCLA and Kentucky online.

Well, it’s finally here. The best matchup of the Sweet 16 is upon us, featuring two true blue bloods: UCLA and Kentucky. And it’s a rematch of a great early season clash, in which UCLA came out on top – but just by a bit.

Kentucky’s more the traditional power in this one. The Wildcats have been to two championship games in the last five years, and almost always figure into the national title contender conversation. This year, they’re led by the guard tandem of Malik Monk and De’Aaron Fox, two uber-talented freshmen that will almost certainly be drafted in the NBA lottery after this year. Fox is a ultra-quick point guard who makes his living penetrating to the rim, and dishing when he can’t get there. Monk is a one-man supernova who can make any shot on the court, and has unlimited confidence. The Wildcats have plenty of talent to fill in around these two, highlighted by Bam Adebayo, another 1st-round bound freshman who occupies the post and dominates the boards for Kentucky.

UCLA is, of course, led by Lonzo Ball, it’s own super-freshman bound for the top of the NBA draft after this year. Lonzo has led a revolution this year for UCLA – the Bruins have become one of the best teams in the country this year, despite personnel that’s largely the same as last year. Lonzo’s preternatural passing vision and willingness to try any pass has permeated UCLA’s offensive culture, and the Bruins have landed among the top offenses in the country. Having a freshman like TJ Leaf doesn’t hurt your prospects, either – his versatility and sweet-shooting from the outside have been a huge boon for UCLA’s offense this year, too.
