Imo, the real beauty of Uk's game was that Calipari took the Hogs style of play and ran them into the ground with it. That's a coaches way of rubbing it in with class...and don't think that wasn't exactly what happened, because UK could have beaten them just about any way they wanted to.

FWIW, it didn't have anything to do with "rubbing it in", instead it had to do with the fact that Kentucky finally played a team that would run with them. Pretty much everyone in the last several games have chose to push them into a half court set and slow the tempo. Kentucky plays their best when they can open it up and play that fast tempo.
