Following the Kentucky Wildcats’ 86-46 victory over New Mexico State on Monday night, Aggies head coach Jason Hooten was highly complimentary of the Wildcats and their transition game.
Kentucky outscored the Aggies 25-7 on fast-break points.
Hooten had the following to say in his postgame presser.
“They’re so elite in transition,” said Hooten. “Elite elite transition team. He (John Calipari) gets those big guys back, and they’ve got a chance to be really good.”
So, just how good is Kentucky at turning defense into offense?
While it’s only one game, John Calipari’s team looked pretty stellar when they forced NMSU into 18 turnovers and turned those into 24 points, while the Aggies had just six points off of six Kentucky turnovers.
