I think on this site there has been many posts that have been said about the unselfishness of this team and it is one of the main reason we are playing so well. The platoon system would not work near as well without players sharing the ball and playing defense the way we have.

Forget the defense. Forget the balanced scoring. Forget the easy wins.

Kentucky coach John Calipari says everyone is missing the big story about Kentucky basketball this season.

“They’re sharing. The story, everybody wants to talk about defense, they all want to talk about the energy, the blocked shots and the length, and the story is you have 10 guys sharing minutes. That’s the whole story in a nutshell,” said Calipari after UK rolled to a 92-44 win over Texas-Arlington Tuesday to improve to 6-0.

“Why is that happening? Because they’re allowing it to happen. Is anybody being hurt by this? No. Will their NCAA stats be as much as some other players? No. Their team NCAA stats will be way beyond most, and their efficiency stats, the big data stats, will be some of the best in the country. And that’s how they’re evaluated more than anything else.”

Going into Sunday’s game with Providence, the evaluations are glowing for No. 1 Kentucky and have been since a 32-point win over No. 5 Kansas when the Jayhawks managed just 12 points in the second half.

When this team is logging assists on over 75% of the baskets made, I'd say that's a pretty unselfish team!

That stat is really unbelievable and wonder if it might not be on track to set a Kentucky record.

It really shows what teamwork does and I am sure will be a model for future teams to follow.
