The Kentucky Wildcats took care of business on Tuesday night with their 75-66 win over the Ole Miss Rebels.
A big talking point this season has been the Cats’ struggles in defending the pick-and-roll. While it still wasn’t great against the Rebels, there were some signs of improvement, especially from Oscar Tshiebwe.
There were times when Tshiebwe got beat, but he also made better defensive decisions than we have seen.
After the game, John Calipari talked about his team’s pick-and-roll defense improving and noted that it was better on Tuesday because Tshiebwe knew he would be pulled for Daimion Collins if he didn’t improve.
