Kentucky coach John Calipari spoke Monday about KU.
“They are running their stuff. They are doing a terrific job of doing what they do. They play a style, and they play it well,” he said. “They are playing hard. They are pressing. They are denying. They are pushing up on defense. They are trapping randomly at times. They are trapping pick and rolls. They are being very, very aggressive.
“We are in a little different position than we have been in the past, where we have a brand-new team and trying to get your team together,” Calipari added. “This team needs to be challenged to see where we are. This is going to be one of those kinds of games. So Kansas … they are always well coached. They are always going to play hard. They are always going to be physical and get the ball inside. What they do, they do really, really well.”
