Wheeler is being abused in the pick and roll.

Kansas leads 41-34 at the half. The Cats were outscored 19-10 the last 8 minutes of the half.

Missed FTs and 0% from the 3 point line. Pretty easy way to have a lead. We keep hearing about when our 3 point shooters find their groove watch out. How about we are 20 games into the season and they haven’t found it yet, maybe they just don’t have any actual shooters? The stud down low for KU has 2 fouls and we don’t attack him when he’s in, no Benny Lineup, Cal getting out coached. Don’t want to hear about missed shots, they’ve been missing the same shots all year.

UK is number 1 in 3 point shooting percent in the SEC. 

In power 5 conferences, UK is right around #10 in 3 point shooting percent.

This is a very evenly played game at this point. Almost every key stat category is even.

Competitive game, but it’s not gonna happen tonight. Cats just can’t get THE stop they need.

It is looking that way, isn't it? UK is going to need a couple key threes to get on top.

You are correct the only stat is hurting the Cats is they have given up 8 offensive rebounds and the Cats only have 2.

Kansas has just made more big buckets and key defensive stops down the stretch than Kentucky has.

Difference is a great player for Kansas - Jalen Wilson. When you get in games like this, the great players make a difference and that was Wilson tonight.
