Kentucky is currently 4th in the entire nation in overall scoring and we'll probably be first in a week.

And look at the 3 ahead of us. Not exactly juggernauts of CB!

Yes, and we play a Western Kentucky team that likes to run. They are giving up 73 points per game while scoring 81 per game. They've already played two common opponents that UK played, beating Lipscomb 66-61 and Jackson State 79-62.

Then we play Georgia State, which averages 81 and gives up 77 per game.

We should be able to get into the high low 90s against Western Kentucky, and probably pass 100 again against Georgia State, a program that gave up 101 points already this year to a pedestrian Mississippi State team.

I also think it's important to note that it's not just UK that is playing cupcakes in November. Presently, there are nine SEC schools that are still undefeated, mostly because they are beating up on weak non-conference opponents.

I don't think it's far-fetched for this UK team to continue to average in the high-80s for the rest of the season. Low-90s might be a stretch, but it's at least plausible given the way UK scores the ball.

Kentucky was 2nd in the nation in SCORING last year. And 1st in 3pt shooting.

Sometimes, things like that don’t mean a damn thing.

Here’s hoping this year’s team actually does something with it.

 

[BC_Wader]

Also 1st in APG and 9th in RPG. Just an all around fun season thus far.

UK actually plays defense this year.

Last year's UK team would have given up 90 to 100 points to this year's Duke team.

We are definitely one of the best offenses this year, and I love watching them play - on both sides of the ball! And these kids are easy to root for because of the the style and effort of their play.

Don’t sleep on that MSU team. I watched them beat SMU at Moody Coliseum and they looked dangerous. Hubbard is solid but they have some nice pieces around him. We go to Starkville 1/11 this year. SEC is going to be rough.

It's the defense that will have to make the difference. The offense is beautiful to watch, but the dirty work is what will bring the wins over the big dogs.

“We” decided to run the offense through Mitchell in the tournament and put up 76 points.

 

[yoshukai]

That list makes me think Osobor might have made a smart decision. Not only getting paid $2mil but he should be able to put up big enough numbers in that offense to help his draft status.

He is averaging 13 points a game for Washington?

 

[ukfan1622]

I was thinking he went TO Utah State. I don't know how he's doing; I mainly just keep up with UK and UK's competition. I was just thinking out loud on that post and obviously wrong.

 

[Son_Of_Saul]

He is averaging 13 points a game for Washington?

Yes, and he's only shooting 37% from the floor, 54% from the foul line, and 0% from three, while committing 3.2 turnovers per game.

I'm glad we missed on him. Garrison and Williams fit this program way better.

🔍 Where is the rest of the SEC?

Gonzaga-UK figures to be fun.

 

[BlueSince92]

Cool to see. Especially when you consider the toughest team any of those three ahead of us has beaten (by a long shot) is Iowa.

[JasonRDunn]

Yes, it is the Zag game that is going to be an offensive show.

And I am here for it.
