I didn't either but we did. I think if we played them 10 time we would win 9 times.
On Friday night in Indianapolis, Calipari told a group of high school basketball coaches he thought Kentucky would finish undefeated and later said he never doubted his team would find a way to stop Wisconsin in the national semifinals — until it was too late.
"You know, it never entered my mind that we were going to lose," Calipari told The Associated Press as he walked out of the high school gym. "When we were up four with 5 minutes to go, I thought it was over. Even when Wisconsin made that run, I thought we'd figure it out.

We had our fair share of tough games, close games. There was a game or two that we really should've lost. But we always found a way to win. We had one slip up all year. One game where down the stretch we didn't make the right pass, shot, etc. I still think what this team did was simply amazing. 38-0? That's just unbelievable.

It is very surprising to look at Cal's record with so many talented players over his coaching career and only one title to show for it.

I have followed this team for so long that I want to see it win championships and for that reason I have never given any coach a free ride with no critisizam (sp). He is one of the best coaches we have had but he also must put players on the court that will follow his orders. The reason we didn't win was stopping the passes to Towns inside and trying to stall the game out. The coach can put anyone he wants on the floor. When he road the Harrisons stalling game until too late to get a decent shot it was his loss as he stated.
