Can Kentucky overcome its defensive issues in Year 1 under Mark Pope?
The Wildcats have now given up more than 1.2 points per possession in 5 of their last 9 power-conference games. Since that streak began on Dec. 21, UK has gone 4-5 in such games and has a schedule-adjusted defensive rating that ranks 162nd nationally, per BartTorvik. Can this issue be fixed?
If Mark Pope’s Wildcats can keep it up, they’ll accomplish a feat that has never been achieved by any Kentucky team. The 2012 title squad came the closest.
