Anyone who is truly a KY fan is thrilled with the way the kids competed against Tennessee yesterday. They balled out all game long.  Cal confiscated their phones and ipads the night before the game so they could focus on the game and rest(great move, btw). Thus, they didn't have to read all the negativity that was being written about them and their coach on message boards from fair weather fans who would rather b!tc* than cheer for them.
You can't speak accurately about "anyone who is truly a KY fan".  I am thrilled for the win, but it changes nothing in the overall scenario.  Either Cal is effective in UK winning, or he isn't.  Evidence at this point in time suggests he isn't.  I didn't hear anything about the confiscating of phones and Ipads, but it is a great idea!  Cal should've been doing that all season.  Perhaps they had a time period of prayer and meditation.  Even if YOU don't believe in God, some time looking at yourself and thinking about issues and how to resolve them, could only be positive.  At least that's what Oscar said in his post game interview.  And "fair weather" fans isn't a fair and accurate description of all UK fans who are disillusioned with Cal.  It's evident that Cal is more interested in the individual players than he is in the "team" dynamic.  Some of the UK fans, maybe most of us, would love to see the heritage and tradition of UK basketball restored.  Team work, team dynamics and team playing are what put the championship flags hanging in Rupp NOT how many individuals went to the NBA.

The kids in blue were more physical than a very physical Vol squad. UK outrebounded the #2 rebounding team in the nation by  20!!! That's right, TWENTY!!!  Whatever Calipari said and did prior to this game worked wonders. Now, let's hope they keep it rolling. If they can win  in hostile Knoxville , they can win anywhere.
If Oscar had clobbered Plavsic to the point of getting thrown out of the game, I wouldn't have blamed him.

Frederick, Wallace, Reeves, Toppin, and Oscar needs to be the Fab Five. Bring Wheeler off the bench to relieve a starter. The offense runs smoother with those five on the floor.
I do agree with your Fab Five.  Let's hope Cal will agree, too.  The chemistry these kids had yesterday, hasn't been present before.
