By: LONNY DEMAREE




John Calipari constantly reminds us that he has has been doing this for thirty-five years. Though he may rub a few on the Wildcat die-hards, what he does during the game has earned him the title of Hall of Fame. He said the Cats are fighting like hell and order to get easy baskets.
He is constantly on the alert of how he formulates his starters and the playing time during the game. The teammates are a great help orchestrate that phenomenon and they emphasis that any pouting can be a disruption to the team’s goal
.
He also constantly reminds that this isn’t for everybody. Everybody plays a role on this basketball team’s success. The team only meeting was very beneficial for the success of the team.

In recent presser, Jacob Toppin and Chris Livingston echoed the value of find themselves and looking themselves in the mirror to make themselves better.

Reeves and Livingston shooting the lights out from the three point range stretch the lead out from a stagnant game.


Tshiebwe and Dexter Denis were fighting it out for a rebound. A timeout for a official review that allowed cooler heads to calm.
The A&M player shot a slinging backboard hook I use to shoot on the outdoor barn. The score at the 1:48 mark of the first half 29-29 and

Kentucky has lived by the three ,7-17. The halftime score was 31-29 A&M.
The shooting percentages heavily favor A&AM 56.5 to 30-6 as the Cats lived by the three an continued in the second half.
Tempers flared as a A&M player shovel Tshiebwe out of bounds and the refs went to the monitor hash it out. As the song blared out what’s going on at the 17:00 minute mark of the second half. The outcome of the decision was not acceptable by the Rupp Arena crowd and a thunderous boo rained down.

At the 15:41 mark of the second mark and a timeout UK 40 & 37. The crowd got really riled at the refs to the turn of REF’s SUCK.
A& M was in their never say die mode and the Cats had to scramble. The Wildcats overcame the Txas A&M Aggies 76-67.

With the score 65-61 Tshiebwe miss a point blank shot that would stretched the lead out the 6-points. A&M took a timeout at 1:47 with UK in the lead by 6-points 67-61. The Wildcats lived by the three-pointer most of the game in the process of shooting 11-32alipari C for 34 percent.
Calipari has said many times in the UK tenure that he wants his team to shoot around 10 per game. When it was called to attention by a media member, the coach got defensive. To every attention to it of past occurrences, Calipari got defensive – “who won the game; what team was it – what percentage did we shoot in those games, were some of his comebacks? Calipari was engaging the media guys in a quizzing contest.
This was a very physical game and at one-point old school basketball by Buzz Wiliams’ team when they were slinging hooks all over the place – AND MAKING THEM. Yours truly use to shoot them off the barn.

Calipari said his team in taking control and starting to call their own sets and plays. This is what he’s been longing to see. John remains constant……well maybe. One big change this season is he is letting his assistants coaches coach during timeouts.
