Now, my team, again, we're an energy team. If we come out and 
the other team is more excited about playing than we are, you're 
going to have a close game or we're going to lose or it's going to 
go to overtime. So you got to make that other team match our 
energy. Not the other way around. And you got to go through that. 
I love the fact that the games are close. I love the fact that one 
game we needed freshmen to step up and make plays, the next 
game we needed our vets. And I say vets … our 19-year-old 
vets … but they had to come up and make plays, and that's how 
this has been all year for us.
- Coach John Calipari

It's all effort and energy, but these guys are young, what we're

- Coach John Calipari

I told guys if you don’t throw to the post, you’re coming out. It’s pretty simple. Everybody said you had great energy because they had a choice, There’s one of two things happening. You’re gonna play and defend like crazy, you’re gonna go do your thing and get a day off tomorrow and I’ll go watch my son play. Or we’re practicing tomorrow (Sunday). Whichever one you want is fine by me. So, which was it? 
They get a day off tomorrow. Enjoy it, boys.
