Kentucky shot the ball very well in the four-game tour in the Bahamas. Illinois State transfer Antonio Reeves was the star of the event as the veteran gives John Calipari a legitimate scoring threat from the perimeter. But this team is not built to beat teams with a barrage of three-point shots.
Kentucky is built to win games with defense, rebounding, and paint scoring. If the team makes a deep run in March, it will be due to that. In Sunday’s finale against Bahamas National Select, the defense and its ability to create takeaways were the difference in the 98-74 victory.
