By any measure, scoring 53 points in a college basketball game in 2022 is not great. Whether you’re a Basketball Benny or a Hall-of-Fame coach, there is no denying Kentucky’s offense needs a shot in the arm, a whiff of ammonia, or some other stimulant to jolt this team out of the mud through which they trudge when they have the ball.
Teamrankings.com ranks Kentucky 55th in the nation in offensive efficiency, but that number is a little misleading due to a couple of blowouts of lower-caliber teams. When it comes to Power Five opponents, it is much, much worse.
