Adou Thiero could've pouted and complained about playing time. Instead he was there when the team needed him. He is what being teammate is all about. Kuddos to the kid!

The Kentucky fans that are upset with the Sharpe situation are more made at Calipari for developing an NBA player and not worrying about a championship. TBH I don't know how I feel about it myself. Losing to St. Peter's with a top 5 pick riding the pine is not a good look.

I don't really mind starting the roster over from scratch. I respect every player that has worn the UK jersey, but I think that UK became just a stepping stone and not a destination. Hence the lack of effort in the past few years. I want players that want to be here!

Calipari use to be the first to change and always stayed ahead of the competition. He is not the same coach as he use to be. Idk what changed, maybe he's burned out or maybe because Robic isn't there. Whatever it is this is not the way Kentucky Basketball is supposed to be.
