Recruit a bunch of shooters, preferably ones who can pass and are athletic enough to compete in the SEC. Those guys exist. That should be his first priority every year. Shooting first.
Make more shots, win more games. Crazy
I'd love to see Nate Oats' record within the same parameters, lmao.
color me shocked by that revelation
Nate Oats with Alabama hitting 10 or more 3s from 2024-26: 27-6
Less than 10 3s from 2024-26: 13-8
In 2024-25, Kentucky was 16-0 hitting 10+ 3s and holding opponent to <13 threes. In 2025-26, 6-0.
Hitting more than 10 3s:
Kentucky 2024-25: 16-3 (Alabama, Arkansas, Ole Miss)
2025-26: 6-1 (Louisville)
Kentucky hitting <10 3s:
2024-25: 8-9
2025-26: 5-5
Interesting fact: In all of Kentucky's losses under Mark Pope, where Kentucky hit 10+ 3s, the opposing team hit exactly 13 3s. Alabama, Arkansas, and Ole Miss in 24-25, and Louisville 25-26.

So still a winning record when he doesn’t. Pretty solid.
