John Calipari Games Quotations

If they can keep these games from being fast-paced games, with the guys they have out there, they can continue doing this. If it's in the 60s, they got a chance.

We were able to create turnovers and do that to create a gap. There will be other games that we won't be able to do that.

There's a star born in all of these games and today it seemed to be Andre Allen.

It's unbelievable how he finishes games off. We're running an offense that's all based on reads, and I've got to do a better job of training him so those reads are easier for him. The offense is a driving offense - we're going to get in the lane at some point. And it's been really good for us.

I like it. It's stimulated by thinking. I thought it was the best way to utilize these players. So I changed. People thought I was crazy. 'You've won all these games doing it one way, all of a sudden you're changing everything.

I really like the balance we had today. We played nine guys for a lot of minutes and they all performed. There is a star born in every one of these games and today it was Andre Allen.

If you want to get teams in the NCAA Tournament, then you schedule wins. You play home games and you buy games, and then you all have winning records.

I don't think he needs the verification. But what he has done there to develop players and to build a program and to do it alongside an unbelievable football program -- which is not easy -- and to have your own identity and to play big in big games says a lot.

The guys that make game winners are the guys that are not afraid to miss them.

You have to lose yourself in the team and you have to lose yourself in the game

A great defensive effort. The one thing we have to do is make it hard for people to beat us. We're not worried about winning and losing, we just have to make the game hard
