Mark Pope’s Kentucky Wildcats don’t play any more defense than John Calipari’s final team that couldn’t guard a Division II transfer last March.

You can argue that Pope was outcoached Saturday, and you wouldn’t be wrong. Arkansas attacked Kentucky’s weakness. The visitors’ unexpected 3-point success opened the driving lanes for D.J. Wagner, the former Kentucky point guard who scored all 17 of his points in the second half and was the key to the game.
