LEXINGTON — Rob Dillingham's flair for the dramatic routinely leads to multiple highlight-reel plays. Conversely, that penchant to go for the jugular as opposed to a simpler approach also leads to turnovers.

Just not Tuesday night.

Dillingham was perfect for No. 12 Kentucky in its rout of No. 8 Miami at Rupp Arena. The freshman guard had nine assists and no turnovers in the 95-73 victory.

The ball bouncing in Dillingham's favor hasn't always been the case this season. His nine turnovers (through seven games) are tied for most on the team, alongside fellow freshman guards Reed Sheppard and D.J. Wagner. But Sheppard (173 minutes) and Wagner (181) have been on the court more than Dillingham (161).

The next victory Dillingham and the Wildcats (6-1) will try to secure is Saturday afternoon, when they welcome UNC Wilmington to town. The Seahawks lead the Coastal Athletic Association in fast-break points per game (16.7), fewest turnovers per game (9.7) and turnover margin (3.7).

Here's everything you need to know about Kentucky's home game against UNC Wilmington, including time, TV and streaming info.
