‘We’re not the same team.’ Kentucky’s failure to force turnovers a big reason why.

Kentucky’s opponents in the last month or so have been turning the ball over fewer times. Therefore, as logic would dictate, UK has been scoring fewer points off turnovers.

In the last seven games, opponents have averaged 8.4 turnovers. UK has averaged 10.9 points off those turnovers

That’s a dramatic change from the season’s first 22 games when opponents averaged 14.7 turnovers, and Kentucky averaged 18.9 points off turnovers.

In the first halves of last week’s games, Arkansas and Tennessee turned the ball over two and three times, respectively. Tennessee finished with five turnovers. Arkansas had seven.
