Title: Just who is Kentucky?

They wear blue.
They are (also) wildcats.
They like to use obese quarterbacks

That's all I've got. Help!

You all know who Kentucky is.  Do we really need multiple versions of the same thing every time we play a major conference team outside the Big 12?  Clams was funny when he did this three years ago.

I know FAN will have his usual breakdown of Kentucky and predictions sometime this week.    But here is a quick glance of UK

UK played 14 games vs SEC teams that were in the top 100 rpi.  They went 8-6.   And here are some stats from those 14 games=

UK Offense-
1.11 PPP
50.4 eFG%
47.6 2pt
39.3 3pt
76% of shots were 2pt/ 24% of shots were 3pt
18.6 TO%
37.6 OR%
UK took 32 more FTAs than opp in those 14 games

UK Defense-
1.07 PPP
48.2 eFG
46.4 2pt
34.9 3pt
30.4% of total shots were from 3pt
16.7 TO%
30.9 OR%

UK Harrison twins and SF James Young all are 6'6" and can shoot the 3.  PG Andrew Harrison takes the fewest 3s of the trio.   
Since Feb 4th, 13 games worth, those 3 have combined to shoot 32.7% from behind the arc, attempting 12 3PA per game

That said, I mentioned that in the 14 games vs SEC top 100, UK only took 24% of their shots from 3Pt.   In the SEC they scored the fewest % of points from 3pt (21.3% of total pts come from 3pt).   Comparible team would be Texas.... a team that has size inside and doesn't shoot a ton of 3s (21.0 of Texas pts come from 3pt in Big 12)

Our 2 pt defense will be very important come Friday.   
UK vs 14 top 100 SEC teams = 47.6 2pt%.  KState vs 18 gms in Big 12 season = 45.7 2pt% Defense

And Yes, UK gets to the FT line.   21 SEC games
Randle 94-136 (69.1)
Young 67-96 (69.8)
Andrew H. 76-92 (82.6)
Aaron H. 78-96 (81.3)
Cauley-Stein 22-44 (50.0)
D Johnson 22-49 (44.9)
Poythress 37-51 (72.5)

Those 7 play almost all the minutes.   Almost 27 FTA/game from those 7 (70% make)

Assume we are going to really pack it in and help down on the post. Try to force them to pass the ball.

Young (#1) and Aaron (#2) attempt 6.3 and 4.2 3PAs on the year, so you have to defend those 2 on the perimeter.
UK not a great passing team.   Only 45% on made FGs were from assists.  48% was the worst in the Big 12.   
Randle is an absolute Bull on the ORs.

I just watched Justified. I think it's truth based, may even be a documentary. Seems the vast majority of Kentuckians are stupid drug dealers, pimps and swindlers. There's a few smarter dealers, pimps and swindlers who rise to the top but their criminal achievements seems to be inevitably undermined by the simple-minded underlings at their employ.
Apparently if it weren't for the presence of federal agents in the state, it would descend into some kind of Mad Max anarchy.
