Tale of the Tape: UNC vs Kentucky

Posted Dec 12, 2014
There are two numbers that jump right off the chart. The first is defensive efficiency. UNC has been good at 89.2, Kentucky has been ridiculous at 83.3. Kentucky's number, if it were to hold, would be the best DE in the KenPom era beating 2009 Memphis(also coached by John Calipari) which finished with an 85.1. UNC's 89.2 is the best of the Roy Williams era beating 2011's 90.4 so far. (Tar Heel Blog)
