Kentucky’s offense was a well-oiled machine the last several days in Toronto, Canada. John Calipari’s group averaged nearly 92 points per game across four outings against international competition. The shooting splits were equally as impressive: 47.7 percent overall, 37.6 percent from distance (on nearly 30 attempts per contest), and 69.6 percent from the three-throw line. Okay, maybe the freebies still need some work, but otherwise, Kentucky’s offense was efficient and purposeful. 72 percent of all made baskets came via an assist.
Calipari ran the offense like he was back at Memphis again — putting the ball in the hands of “basketball players” who can do a little bit of everything by letting them go wild.
