Calipari noted how UK's big men must communicate on defense or be embarrassed by Florida's pick-and-roll offense.
He noted how Twany Beckham, an afterthought at Mississippi State before transferring to UK, was too much for Darius Miller to handle in Thursday's practice.
"I had to take Darius off the court," Calipari said. " 'OK, step off. You're not tough enough to play him. Just step off.'"
Miller and his teammates have to figure out how to stand up to physical play, Calipari said.
Calipari applauded how Jarrod Polson did his part to condition Brandon Knight for intense competition.
"Jarrod went right after Brandon," the UK coach said. "Same deal. Brandon got rattled a little bit. I'm like saying, 'That's what they're trying to do to you in the game.' — 'Let's get physical and get up in them and bump them and see if he loses his mind.'
