I have to admit Coach Calipari has exceeded my expectations as a coach. I didn’t really know he was this good of a coach. I never would have thought our basketball team would be this far along, this quick.
I expected a loss to either IU, UCONN, or North Carolina. Our Freshman simply don’t play like Freshman. You have to credit Coach Cal with this fast maturation process. Guys like Demarcus Cousins may need to grow up a little, but they are hustling and producing on the court. That’s evidence of a talented coach.
Name me another coach in America that could have this mix of Freshman and veterans playing completely unselfish with each other while lauging and having fun. The chemistry is truly remarkable.
I don’t see a glaring weakness with this team. Our defense may not be stellar right now, but it will improve steadily. These guys could be our most impressive defensive team ever. They really have that extraordinary athletic ability and length to disrupt passing lanes like no other UK team in history. Not to mention the ball-hawking point guard defenders in John Wall and Eric Bledsoe.
This defensive ability will wreak havoc on opponents all year long. I’m just glad I’m here and able to enjoy the ride….This is one of the funnest UK teams I’ve ever watched. Go Cats! Make us Proud! You have so far…..
