Kentucky 76, Vanderbilt 57: Vanderbilt Does Some Things Well, Gets Blown Out Anyway

Sometimes, your shots aren't falling. Sometimes, the other team's shots are falling. Sometimes, both of these things happen in the same game.

In Lexington on Saturday, Vanderbilt won the rebounding battle, got to the free throw line 19 more times than Kentucky did, made their free throws, and limited turnovers to an acceptable level. Damian Jones stayed out of foul trouble for the first time in what seems like years -- in fact, no Commodore was whistled for more than two fouls.

And the Commodores lost by 19 points.

When the last three bars of the Four Factors -- offensive rebounds, turnovers, and free throw rate -- look like they do in the chart, you are probably going to win most of the time.
