There are those who believe a team like UK, who is 25-1, needs to lose a game to get hungry again, and then make a post season run that takes them all the way.

"That's true after the Indiana game we got very hungry," says Doron Lamb. "We told ourselves we don't want to lose no more."

For today, Cal isn't worried about his team being hungry.

"They are just zeroed in on me saying telling us how to get better," says Cal.

"What do we have to do. And it's a neat thing. I've got, this is a unique team to have this many guys and have them get a long and have the skill set that we have. We are winning all the games. It just means that it's fun to try and come to work everyday and it's run to try and teach. They want to learn. There is not a whole lot of back and forth. And, I'm still getting on guys."

The players not only take Cal's yelling, but they are convinced it's good for them. The freshman are told not to listen to Cal's tone, but pay attention to his words, which is how you get better.

To Darius Miller. The first time Cal saw Darius as the Kentucky coach, he cried. No he didn't cry because of Darius, but Cal cried.

"And I walked in that gym, without an assistant coach, I had a football team out there. I had like 21 players on the team. I had never seen that in my life. They started playing and the one that impressed me the most was Darius. And then I came in this room on the side where they have couches and I cried. I called the AD (athletics director) back in Memphis and said will you take me back.

Cal being Cal, had a quick comeback when it comes to what his former Athletics Director said.

"He laughed and said too bad, I didn't want you anyway."
