Senior guard Julius Mays shared some interesting comments before today’s practice for the Wildcats, who host LSU Saturday.
On the state of this Kentucky team …
“Not how we want it. We took a step forward in the Auburn game, then two steps back in the Alabama game. All we can do is learn from it. We can’t hang our heads. We still have a lot of conference games to go and to look forward to.”
On the growing sense of urgency for this team …
“I think in yesterday’s practice there was a lot of urgency shown. It was the hardest practice we’ve had since I’ve been here, or the most intense practice. We all went very hard and showed a lot of enthusiasm so that is a good sign. I hope that guys realize that it has to be turned around. We don’t have much time left to keep saying the same things.”
On the intensity of that practice …
“It was the most talk I’ve heard in practice since I’ve been here. Guys were just getting after each other. I do think everyone is tired of the same thing. We are tired of coach (John Calipari) taking the blame when it’s really not his fault.”



“we don’t have much time left to keep saying the same things”. He certainly undertands the predicament the team is in. Good to hear there was a hearty practice and talk, but just got to play entirely better from here on in. To me it doesn’t matter much who takes the blame. I’m more interested in someone(s) credited with some wins. Don’t care who! We just can’t afford more losses to lesser teams—and Florida is the only team left on our schedule that is actually better than us.
Why don’t they all take AP out behind the wood shed and kick his A$$. Everyone wants to play softball with him, and he still doesn’t get it. How much trashing can one individual take?
How about benching a certain individual until he does get it, Shows it in practice then he can come off the bench and prove it. Might be the best thing for him. He might quit worrying so much about the NBA draft and what he is supposed to do for this team instead.
Leave Archie alone…lol.
Yeah, because Archie isn’t the problem.
Archie is not the only problem
Exactly.

I agree, it’s someone bigger and stronger…and their lack of effort, forces Archie to attempt to take over and Win. Archie is a Winner….
