5 rushed reactions: UK basketball vs Vanderbilt Commodores
4. Defensive struggles continue
The Cats really struggled to guard Vanderbilt. Vandy is a pretty solid three-point shooting team. However, they do not have much of a post presence. The defensive problem for Kentucky wasn’t simply good shooting from Vandy. The Cats really struggled to defend the dribble drive, again.
It’s disappointing to see how easily opposing guards can get into the paint versus the Cats. Teams like Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, and Auburn are really going to create serious problems for Kentucky. These teams have really good guards and the ability to put up 90 points against the UK basketball team.
