"The Wildcats really struggled to shoot the ball from the perimeter, hitting three of their first six 3-point attempts and then just four the rest of the game. They made just one over a 19½-minute stretch in the second half. Over the past three games, UK is shooting 22-for-82 from behind the arc -- that's 26.8% -- after shooting 42.3% in its first five games." (ESPN)

Im actually really ok with this. I believe that we have a great shooting team, probably the best in the country. So Im keeping my fingers crossed that this is just a slump and we will shoot our way out of it.

This team is currently shooting above the veteran players average for their career by about 1%.

So I am not sure that I would consider the last three games a slump, but more regressing to their mean.

Pope needs to find Brea more shots in the offense since he cannot create his own. Brea needs to shoot at least 10 threes a game in my opinion.

Well thats not good. 😂

I agree about Brea. My fear is he is not strong enough with the ball when people are chasing him off the 3 point line. Thats what I believe got him benched.
