The Kentucky Wildcats are currently riding on an impressive nine-game winning streak, and the biggest key to victory night after night has been the team’s ability to absolutely terrorize opponents on the defensive end of the floor.
In seven of Kentucky’s last eight games, the opposition has scored no more than 63 points. And in each of those matchups, the Wildcats have allowed shooting percentages of just 35.8, 34.9, 37, 36.5, 31.1, 30.4, and 36.2. Outside of Auburn on January 19, not a single team has shot greater than 40 percent from the field since the Texas A&M game at Rupp Arena on January 8.
