Kentucky spent the last three games drilling 3s and racking up points. So it wasn’t a surprise to see that continue on Tuesday against Miami.

But to beat the No. 8 Canes 95-73? Sheesh.

The most impressive thing was the ball movement and shooting. The constant passing from side to side moved Miami’s defense, and created open perimeter jumpers.
