Coming from a coach like Huggins a compliment really means something.
They were what I thought they were. I thought they were the best offensive team in the country. Everybody kind of gets caught up in their size and all that, which is certainly a part of it, but to get those guys to play as hard and to play together the way they do, I mean, you look down there, you've got guys that, you know, are going to be lottery picks that they give the ball up, they share the ball.
“John's done an incredible job. A lot of what we do is managing people and managing egos and attitudes and all those kind of things, and he's done an absolutely terrific job of managing them, getting guys to play together and to care about one another. They're terrific defensively. That's the best defensive team I think that I've ever coached against. And when they're making shots, and they made shots today, when they make shots, there's nobody going to beat them when they make shots like that.”
Huggins said Notre Dame, which plays UK Saturday, or any other team would need the Wildcats to have a “bad day” to win.

YEAH HUGGINS DIDNT GET UPSET AT ALL LAST NIGHT, I THINK HE KNEW HE WAS BEAT BEFORE GAME STARTED, SAYING KY WAS BEST DEFENSIVE TEAM HE EVER COACHED AGAINST, IS A COMPLIMENT, CAUSE HUGS KNOWS DEFENSE, AND HE LIKES CAL, AND SAYS NOTHING BAD AGAINST KY. KUDOS TO HUGS. HUGS GETS TORE UP ON THE FLOOR SOMETIMES, BUT HE IS A GOOD GUY.
