I started a thread earlier today similar to this.

According to Bart Torvik, Kentucky is the best high-major team in America when playing Quad 1A teams away from home. When the team is comes ready to play, we are among the best.

This team just needs to be decent defensively. They are top 70 in steals per game, top 5 in blocks per game and top 30 in defensive rebounding per game.

Those aren't horrible stats....especially for imo the best offensive power 5 team in country. We just need to force more missed shots!

I ran a filter on Torvik starting on February 11 (the day after we lost to Gonzaga). Our defense is 54th in that time. Not elite or anything but probably good enough to win against anyone when our offense is clicking.
