But the Wildcats nearly suffocated last week.

Even after a 17-point loss to South Carolina (79-62) and a six-point win over Arkansas (63-57), Kentucky isn’t worried about its offense.
“I don’t think nothing’s different,” said fifth-year senior guard Antonio Reeves, the team’s leading scorer at 19.5 points per game. “We’re just going within the season, going and playing good teams. We played two good teams on the road.”
Freshman guard Reed Sheppard agreed, saying the Wildcats’ offense, which averages 88.5 points per game (the fourth-best figure in Division I), will be “fine” going forward.
“We’re always going to continue to have confidence in each other and play together as a team,” he said. “And the more we do that — the more we share the ball, the more we get open shots. Teams are going to scout. … Everyone knows what we do. It’s part of the game, and especially in conference play, everyone takes the scouting up to a different level.
“So they know what we run there. They know what to expect. But we’re gonna keep running it.”
