John Calipari Guys Quotations

If they can keep these games from being fast-paced games, with the guys they have out there, they can continue doing this. If it's in the 60s, they got a chance.

I think what we are going to do is go great ball pressure and deny wings to start the game because I want to know who is not ready to play. We had guys start this game like we don't have to play. Like they were going through the motions.

People are saying, 'Well, do you think it'll hurt you that they're young? You know, the thing about young guys is they don't think they're going to lose. They haven't been through it yet. So we will see.

Those guys on TV and radio have to come up with some opinions and some upsets.

We have guys who just haven't played together. We're just trying to figure it out. Offensively, we're taking so many bad shots right now it's almost making me want to vomit at times, but we are being aggressive.

The thing about young guys is they don't think they will lose. They haven't been through it yet.

There was no one that played well. In this kind of game, you must have two or three guys that really play well and that everyone talks about after the game. We didn't have anybody.

I want him to understand he's just part of this team, ... For most kids coming out of high school, they were the team. Most of these kids think leadership is everyone serving them. Leadership is you serving everybody. So we're putting him in with older guys who can teach him things.

If you have all seniors, then it probably doesn't mean much because those guys aren't going to be back. But if you have a young team, then yeah, I think it helps get you ready for next year.

If you're not sure of yourself, someone else's success bothers you. These guys enjoy each other's success.

I really like the balance we had today. We played nine guys for a lot of minutes and they all performed. There is a star born in every one of these games and today it was Andre Allen.

The great news is that we have a lot of guys coming back and a lot of guys coming in. So for this program, yeah, you'd like to have some guys back. But it's about them at this point.
