Kenpom Update

Kentucky Now Sits at Number 11 Ranked 13th in Offense and 28th in Defense. (Once again, our defense HAS to get better if we want to go somewhere).

Only two teams sit in the T10 on both atm: Auburn and Tennessee.

UConn Falls All The Way to Number 28. OUCH.

Has any team shot 40% against us ?

I believe Duke was the closest with like 39.5% or something.

Our defense isn't bad. It's just not as good as some others right now. Still early as well.

It seems like our guards and wings have a hard time recovering if they get beat off the dribble. Not sure how we fix that or if I'm noticing the wrong thing.

I think our defense is good and will continue to get better. These metrics aren’t fully calibrated to this seasons data yet so I think both our efficiency figure for defense is underrated and our offense figure is probably pretty accurate.

Of the teams in the top 1o only Kansas, Iowa St Gonzaga, Auburn and TN have better Offensive, defensive and SOS #s than UK.

This. Let's get into February and see where these teams are then. UK's defense ratings were terrible last year so it had no where to go but up.

None of those teams have Lamont Butler or wanna play against Lamont Butler defensive intensity.

So we will be seeing you soon Orange Lovers and Pearls same ol shit team.
I have the utmost confidence that coach Pope's going to make sure that these football schools ain't beating us in basketball. Or maybe Auburn isn't even a football school anymore.....idk lol

Honestly, our defense just gets lazy.. That’s something they can improve at👍 hopefully 🙏

KenPom still taking into account end of last year data, FYI.

This ranking won't mean squat until Jan 1 when that Cal garbage falls off the data inclusion.
