Do you have a passion for what you do and do you love what you do? If you don’t, then it can be drudgery, it can be hard, it can be work. But when you find something that you enjoy a lot, then you’re more willing to sacrifice a lot of things in order to be successful as a teacher.

Shooting is all about confidence.

The trick to defending Kentucky's home court is....better defending

My favorite thing about coaching? Teaching. Being around young people, just watching a player grow and develop. You know, a young man comes in with dreams and goals and ambitions and just helping him reach (them). It's like your dad watching you grow up and like me watching my boys grow.

The game against Alabama will certainly be a challenge for us. We've been struggling shooting the ball and rebounding. If we're not on top of our game, we're going to have a very long night like we've had lately.

This is one that really, really hurts. You've got to hope you come in and take care of home court, and we didn't.

He played well the first half at South Carolina. It's not that he was not playing well. Other guys were just playing well.

He's got a physical build, he's strong. He's got a good touch, going 9-for-11 in the game.

He's not being aggressive, not blocking shots and other people are playing better than he is.
