You are not considering all the all stats. In 2015 the Harrison Twins took a combined 279 fewer shots than Murray and Ulis did in 2016. You are also not considering the twins defensive Skills, yes I know Ulis won SEC Defensive POY but Check the Box score of the UT and Auburn losses this year! Those 2 games cost UK a 2 seed this year! Two below average PGs put 26 and 27 points on Ulis! The twins allowed UK to switch every ball screen they defended the 3 point shot very well. If you check the stats Andrew Harrison actually shot a higher percentage from 3-point range than Ulis did in 2016. In 2015 Andrew turned the ball over a total of 2 more times playing 3 full games more than Ulis in 2016. Ulis was better from 2 point range but IMO Andrew played against better players, big guys like Frank Kaminsky, Myles Turner, Sam Deker Bobby Portis and Kevon Looney! No coach is going to bench his starting guards when they are in a Undefeated run! I do agree with you that UK should have ran there Offense threw Karl Towns by doing so there is a good chance that Kaminsky gets in foul trouble! Cal's game plan is Cal's fault not the Twins.

I am considering the stats, but one other area you need to consider is the different situations between the Ulis and the Harrison twins. I do agree that it is Calipari's fault on that, not the Harrison twins. Ulis and Murray took more shots than the twins did because they lacked the talent around them that the Harrison twins had. There was no Karl Towns, no Willie Cauley-Stein or Dakari Johnson in the paint. Skal Labissiere didn't turn out to be as talented as anticipated, and his strength is hitting mid-rage jump shots - not being a strong post presence. So that didn't open anything up. The only post presence we had was an occasional score by Poythress. Lee's offense was limited to the alley-oop and hopefully we'll see him make some big improvements over the off-season to the point where he comes back playing the great basketball he is capable of.

You are right that Tyler Ulis did shoot a lower percentage from three point range than Andrew Harrison, but last year Ulis shot 42% with a a solid big man around him. Ulis still shot 34% from three this year, it's not good but there are plenty of players that shoot worse. What you didn't mention, however, was that Ulis, at 5'9, shot over 10% better from inside the three point arc than Andrew Harrison, who shot better from three point range than two point range. Ulis did not have the talent around him that the Harrison twins did, but he still took a lot of smart shots and made good decisions driving the lane. Andrew Harrison is 6'5. No guard of that size should be shooting below 40% at the college level. And I still love the Harrison twins. But they took a lot of bad shots.

If UK had a consistent big man this season, Ulis would have relied on him more and taken far fewer shots. Last year he always looked to feed it inside to Towns, Johnson, or Cauley-Stein when he had the opportunity. This year he had to create offense. It's scary to think about just how good him and Murray could have been had they had someone like Karl Towns or if Dakari Johnson had decided to come back.
