Just who is Kentucky?

Adolph Rupp was a virulent racist and they still worship him

Thank goodness our great state has no association that crap hole.

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.

How many Kentucky players skip the NCAA's and head straight to the NBA after seeing K-State in the bracket?

I once had the "opportunity" to live near Kentucky and I can tell you that the guerrilla dentistry industry is alive and well.

Seemed like a cesspool to me. The only other thing I can add, they love to take their shirts off (the men):

Roughly? ALL OF THEM.

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.
