Sports Illustrated writer and NBA draft insider Jeremy Woo loved the way that freshmen Tyrese Maxey of Kentucky and Anthony Edwards of Georgia went “head to head for a good chunk” of Tuesday’s game that UK eventually won.

“One of the better games I’ve seen live this season. Host of NBA executives and scouts in the house,” Woo posted on Twitter.

Kentucky won 78-69 behind 17 points, eight assists, seven rebounds, four blocks and two steals from Maxey while Edwards had a game-high 23 points, five rebounds and two assists.

“He’s great. He’s really tough to guard, especially when he has the green light like that,” Maxey said about Edwards. “He has to make plays for that team to win, and it’s really hard to guard him. Proud of him to keep working on his game.”

The two have known each other for a long time and are friends — something many didn’t realize when Edwards seemed to be taunting Maxey after driving, knocking him down and scoring on him. Maxey didn’t seem offended by what happened.
