Listen "How Kentucky's 'absent' defense got carved up by Georgetown's pick-and-roll"

Episode Synopsis

Kentucky's defense crumbled against Georgetown, allowing over 55% shooting and 38 points in the paint. Coach Mark Pope attributed the loss to a lack of discipline, particularly in defending pick-and-roll plays, with the third defender consistently absent or late. This resulted in easy scoring opportunities for Georgetown's Malik Mack and Kaden Lewis. The Wildcats, who had previously shown strong defense against Purdue, now face the challenge of fixing their defensive rotation and avoiding similar performances in upcoming games.The Daily News Now! - Every city.
