An inside look at Kentucky’s ever-changing defense. β€˜We have a lot of tricks in our bag.’ A look behind the scenes at how Kentucky switches up its defense in the middle of games, and the idea behind the β€œdefensive punches” that Mark Pope has brought to the program.

NEW: You might have heard Mark Pope talk about "defensive punches" in the past.

What exactly are they? And how do the Wildcats use them?

A deep, inside look at Kentucky's defense and its unique approach to shaking up the other team in the middle of games.
