Five takeaways from Kentucky’s interviews on the eve of Saturday’s game at Auburn:
u25aa Three-point defense will be priority one for Kentucky. In its first five SEC games, Auburn averaged 31.4 three-point shots. UK is aware of the importance of defending the three.
u25aa Keldon Johnson was not pleased with going scoreless at Georgia, roommate and teammate Tyler Herro said. John Calipari said he has instructed Johnson to look for open teammates while also taking open shots. Multi-tasking? No, Calipari said, it’s called playing basketball.
u25aa Calipari liked how Kentucky’s four “bigs” divided playing time at Georgia on Tuesday.
