Kentucky is facing a top 10 KenPom defense on Saturday in the West Virginia Mountaineers. Bob Huggins’ team also forces turnovers on 23 percent of their opponents’ possessions, which is 2nd in the country.

Can the Cats limit turnovers and score enough to come out of Morgantown with a victory?

Recent history suggests the Cats have a strong chance.

The Wildcats have fared well against elite defensive teams with subpar offenses in the John Calipari era. Since the 2009-10 season, UK is 16-4 against opponents with a top 10 KenPom defense, but an offensive efficiency ranking that fell outside of KenPom’s top 25.
