Tweaking?
Anyone know what Calipari tweaked? What ever he did or stopped doing is working. Did he start paying these guys? (That was a joke pull your panties out of your crack:p) Seriously, these guys are playing great and they are fun to watch. I didn't know of Lee off the bench and I always thought WCS was lost out there. Johnson, to me, always had the motor that others out there didn't have. If he stays around he will be a monster for UK. I know it goes against what UK is doing now but I'm not a fan of the twins. I see many missed opportunities of sharing a dunk or missing a pass that would enable these two to save their bodies and not jump/flop and wish for a foul.
It reminds me of D.Wade and I don't like his game either. I know its working now but I like to see a sweet pass once in a while.
If the Gators can't win the Championship that I believe is theirs to lose then I hope Kentucky does it....just to see it stay in the state and have an SEC win it all.:)

I'm curious as well.... How does it all just come together that quickly? Not complaining by no means. I'd love to see a uk, Florida title game but Wisconsin is the real deal. Uk has been battle tested all tourney and I believe it will be another epic game. I remember posting on this forum not long ago complaining about how bad uk was. How do we get beat by s. carolina and then turn around a push to the final four. Unbelievable... However I love it. Go CATS!!!!

The tweak was nothing more than a good old fashioned mind-screw. :D
All I know is that he made the kids shut off the cell phones and social media, turned the TVs in the dorm to CNN and took the batteries out of the remotes, became kinder and gentler "Uncle Cal" over on the bench, and told the boys to go have fun.
Whatever he did, bless him for it. I've actually had a BLAST watching these last few games, beginning in the SEC Tournament. Up until then, watching UK basketball this year made me more frustrated than a mute midget playing bingo, getting a bingo, and trying to yell BINGO.
I had zero faith for post-season. Now, the way they are playing, I honestly think the kitty cats could cut down the nets. It's pretty unbelievable.
I'm calling Kentucky and Florida in the finale, playing each other for the 4th time this season...in a battle royale.

Sources tell me that after first loss to mich st. Cal held the team back, sand bagging essentially till tourney time. Going in as the worst possible seed and still win it all. Goal was to prove that the team could win under any circumstances.

hahaha it's easier it play when you don't have the weight of supposed to win it all.....they lost that tag as they folded toward the end of the regular season.....UK was all but dead and very few believed they could win more than one game in the tourney. Including me!!

This whole tweak thing makes me flippin head hurt and laugh my ass off. Its called the Harrison twins decided they had a snow balls chance in Hell of making the NBA if they didn't wake up and first and foremost here it is...wait for it because its so complex.....
They now are.................Drum role please..................Hitting their shots and drilling from the free throw line. Something they were not doing a few weeks ago. Its amazing to me how many talking heads, Clark Kellogg, Kenny Smith, Jay Bilas, that complete asshat moron Charles Barkley try and make basketball like Chinese Chess when really its the team that actually puts the ball through the hole and scores more points. Louisville beat Ky for 38 minutes of a basketball game but left 10 points at the free throw line. Harrison hits a timely three and Russ Smith takes a bad shot and misses.............game over and lost in the last 1.29 minutes.
Sorry for being wordy, but that Ego freak Calipari wants everybody to believe he did something special when basically the players are just plain ole trying harder and having a better field goal percentage and shooting better from the charity stripe, yep it so easy a cave man can do it....Except Wyneeta Blackshear or Russ Smith, lol....

They "eyes" are on these players right now. Their STOCK has gone down quite a bit during the normal season. Some were not even in the draft scope.
The play of some of these guys is pretty dang good, meaning they can TURN it on when needed, and can play to win, when needed.
It is a double edged sword if you ask me, but I will tell you this........this KY team looks **** good, and I believe they will win the National Title. They look good and are fun to watch.
Later,
