Cool factoid. This is the first team since the 96 championship team
- Thread starter Smashcat
- Start date
Wonder what the average ppg given up on the defensive side were at the same point?
I just seen it, it’s like 5 ppg difference. It was like 69.4 vs. 74.5 or something like that.
Some other stats from 247.
– UK has scored at least 80 points in all but one game this season.
– Kentucky shot 57.1% from the field, 36 of 63. It is the sixth time this season that the Wildcats have made at least half their shots in a game.
– Kentucky made 11 of 25 3-point shots. The Wildcats entered the game 11th in the nation with 10.5 long balls made per game.
– UK shot 44% on 3-pointers, entered the contest third nationally at 41.4%.
– UK dished out 23 assists, entered the game 11th in the country with 19.1 per game.
– Sparked by 16 points from Rob Dillingham and 11 from Reed Sheppard, UK won bench points 36-5.
– UK also held a 27-6 lead in fast-break points and a 15-4 advantage in points off turnovers.
– Kentucky blocked nine shots tonight, tying the season high set vs. North Carolina.
– Kentucky led by as many as 28 points. UK is 338-15 (95.7%) in the Calipari era when leading by at least 10 points at any time in the contest.

We need to improve defensively but I like the potential to do that with the talent we have.
I’d rather watch a 95-85 game then a 65-55 slugfest, that ain’t basketball
We may give up 110 but we’ll score 111. Just out score them, screw defense lol. Pretty much NBA philosophy
I posted season totals in comp to '96 in another thread last night.
Through 12 games:
'96 was 11-1, 91.8 - 70.0
'24 is 10-2, 91.1 - 73.4
Biggest difference is in '96 we won a pre-coference game over Morehead 96-32. That really pulled defensive ppg average down. If that game was like most of the others (say 65 pts for opponent) the stats would be almost identical at 73ppg given up through 12 games.
