Kentucky‘s defense has been a disaster as of late, specifically rearing its ugly head in the second half vs. Arkansas, a 20-minute stretch where the Wildcats allowed the Razorbacks to shoot 72.0% from the field and score 47 points with just one 3-pointer. UK got cooked in the pick-and-roll, beat off the dribble and caught sleeping on backdoor cuts, resulting in a clinic for the opposition around the basket for the game — Arkansas scored 46 total points in the paint with 11 made layups and eight dunks overall.
