Kentucky’s basketball teams enters tonight’s game versus Duquesne with a 3-0 record, and a win will likely send the Cats to the top of the polls as the No. 1 team in the nation. Thus far, the backcourt play of De’Aaron Fox, Malik Monk and Isaiah Briscoe has been brilliant. The trio’s unrelenting on ball pressure, pushing of the ball in transition and breaking down defenses off the dribble in the half court have lead the Cats.
And though the Cats have looked good in this young season, there’s much more work and improvement to be done. Look for Kentucky to have a renewed interest on the bigs tonight against Duquesne, specifically rebounding intensity and establishing low post presence, and scoring, in the half court.
