Not only is John Calipari’s team playing at the fastest pace of his 15-year tenure at Kentucky, but his players are doing so with startling efficiency. After smacking the No. 8 Miami Hurricanes by 22 points on Tuesday night, Kentucky is now among the nation’s top 10 in most assists per game (20.9) and among the nation’s top 10 in fewest turnovers per game (8.1).
According to BarkTorvik, the Wildcats rank first in all of Division I men’s basketball with a turnover percentage of 10.9. That’s easily the best mark of the Calipari era, with the second-closest being the 2016-17 squad that posted a turnover percentage of 15.
