Kentucky’s 3-point shooting and defense is improving

It’s no secret that early in the season Kentucky struggled with both three-point shooting and three-point defense. However, over the last six games Kentucky has steadily improved on both of those.

The last six opponents that Kentucky has faced include Monmouth, UNC Greensboro, Seton Hall, Utah, North Carolina and Louisville.

In a 90-44 win over the University of Monmouth, Kentucky shot 10/24 from behind the three-point line (41.7%), and they only allowed Monmouth to shoot 2/16 from deep for a mere 12.5%.

Next up was UNC Greensboro, Kentucky didn’t take near as many shots from behind the arc that game only 12 actually but they managed to hit 5/12 for 41.
