We're going to have to defend really well. They are really efficient (1.20 ppp) in their last 10 games which is why they have won 9. They are elite at oboarding and getting to the FT line, but making shots (especially 3s as Posse pointed out) and reducing TOs has been their key. They are really good defensively, especially eFG% and 3PT% defense. I do like that they aren't a heavy TO% defense, which should help us.
Also, against the longest Big 12 teams that like to oboard (TCU, Baylor, OSU) we went 6-1. None of those are great comps to Kentucky outside of that, but we've handled length and rebounding teams better than I thought. Kentucky isn't an elite ball pressure defense team like Tech or WVU, so that makes me feel better too.
