Kentucky coach John Calipari and Tennessee coach Rick Barnes have been long-time friends, and no one seems to have more respect for what Calipari has done this season than Barnes.

"I think Kentucky is the most underrated and underappreciated team in the country right now,” Barnes said. I think (Kentucky), and Kansas are the two best teams in the country. They (Kentucky) haven't lost since their game at Auburn, and Kansas I don't think has lost since their game at home against Baylor. Right now, those are the two best teams in College Basketball. They have two players, Immanuel Quickley and Nick Richards who are two guys that are player of the year type candidates. there's a lot of terrific coaches in our league and nobody has done a better job than John Calipari. So, with that said they're playing terrific defense, they get out in transition, they are as lethal as any team you will play against. They're going to get into their sets and execute.”
