The 2021-22 Kentucky Wildcats have been built to run, run, run. Head coach John Calipari has harped on that idea since the preseason and it’s translated onto the hardwood. UK has one of the lowest average lengths of possession numbers in the country, as every offensive set places a major emphasis on beating the opponent down the floor.
It’s no coincidence that Kentucky’s best players have been the ones always ready to run the court, either. Sprinting is actually something that the staff studies after games, to the point where someone’s job is to figure out who was sprinting and who was not.
