Wenyen Gabriel becoming Derek Willis for these Kentucky Wildcats

For much of this season, UK has been among the worst three-point shooting teams in college basketball.

Part of that is due to UK ranking near the bottom in three-point attempts, but there’s really been no question this was a weakness since Game 1.

Sure, UK has had some hot-shooting days, but few guys have been able to consistently hit a three from game to game.

That wasn’t a problem last year when UK had Derek Willis. The senior forward hit a three in 12 of UK’s final 14 games last year, which was when the Cats began their big run by winning 14 straight before losing in the Elite Eight.
