There are exactly two teams in college basketball scoring more than Kentucky (94.4 PPG) to open the season: Arizona (95.3 PPG) and Alabama (94.9 PPG). There are exactly zero teams with a better assist/turnover ratio (2.56). Just three have better effective field-goal percentages than the Cats (60.7%) — none being high-majors.
Put simply, among realistic contenders in college basketball, Kentucky is on a different planet offensively. The volume, efficiency and balance are all there and the product is a blast to watch, the latest example being a top-ten beatdown against No. 8 Miami (FL).
And whether the Wildcats need it or not, there is help on the way.
