[I][B][I]On playing [/I][COLOR=#0061aa][I]Eric Bledsoe[/I][/COLOR][I] and [/I][COLOR=#0061aa][I]John Wall[/I][/COLOR][I] together…[/I][/B][/I]
[I][B]“Neither one was worried about the other in the recruiting process. I’ve been doing this long enough that if two of my best players are five men, I’ve got to figure out how to play them both at the same time. If two are shooting guards, I figure out how to play both of them at the same time. With these two, they are two of our better players and you play them. They are like two brothers. They enjoy playing with each other and they enjoy helping each other. One’s success is not affecting the other, unless it is in a positive way.”[/B][/I]
[I][B][I][B]John Wall[/B][/I][/B][/I]
[I][B][I]On guarding the 3-point shot especially with Rotnei Clark … [/I][/B][/I]
[I][B]“If you are not ready for that then you might get beat by 40. If he gets going it is going to be tough to stop him. Our main thing this week in practice is to fight up the screens and trying to connect. He is not really tall, but he has a quick release. Once he gets hot, you are in trouble.”[/B][/I]
[I][B][I][B]Ramon Harris[/B][/I][/B][/I]
[I][B][I]On the respect Kentucky players have for Arkansas… [/I][/B][/I]
[I][B]“This team is proving themselves when they play big teams. They almost beat Texas this year as well, and with us being at home will give us a little advantage, but we know they will come ready to play.”[/B][/I]
[I][B][I][B]Perry Stevenson[/B][/I][/B][/I]
[I][B][I]On the pressure of possibly being No. 1 in the polls if they beat Arkansas … [/I][/B][/I]
[I][B]“We don’t really think about it too much. You can’t worry about it because you cannot let it affect the way that you are playing. So, we are not worried about it at all. That is the way to go.”[/B][/I]
