This will be Washington's first game that they have to play Defense. Is this a dangerous game for the Cats, yes! Can they win -Absolutely! Great offensive teams generate their points from their defense. they only forced 17 turnovers and had 8 steals. That hardly tells me they are a defensive team. Thus, you have to look at the offensive side. They shot 65% from the three point line. If a team shoot that well from the arc, no one can beat them. Thus, can they shoot that well against UK - odds are against a team to shoot that good on consecutive nights.

I have always hated Calipari three point defense, going back to the days that UK lit up UMass in the 90's, how poor his teams played defense period at Memphis, and last year we did not defend the three well. If the Cats defend the three in this same manner, and Washington can get off the uncontested shot, UK will be playing from behind. However, I just don't think the Huskies can shoot at the clip they did last night.
