[B][I]On if Coach Calipari told him he could possibly become that seventh or eighth guy out there …[/I][/B]
“He’s just been talking about trying to find that eighth solid position. I mean whoever is working hard will get an opportunity.”
[B][I]On if he ever thought he would have that opportunity when he came here to play …[/I][/B]
“A little bit I guess. I knew if I worked hard it could happen.”
[B][I]On if he hears the crowd when they want him to shoot …[/I][/B]
“Yeah, I can definitely hear it. I just try to do what I am supposed to do like running the play and stuff like that.”
[B][I]On what it means when his teammates say to play within himself and not try to do too much …[/I][/B]
“I just don’t try to do anything fancy or anything but just run the team and do what I can and then knowing what I can’t do.”
[SIZE=4]#20, Doron Lamb, G, Fr.[/SIZE]
[B][I]On what his family and friends said after last game …[/I][/B]
“They said, ‘Good Job, keep it up and just keep working hard.’”
[B][I]On how the coaches have been working on getting his shot off a little faster, if it is something that has come easy …[/I][/B]
“Yes, because (Assistant) coach (John) Robic always says, ‘Get your shot off quicker because in conference play they’re going to know you can shoot and they’re going to be up on you. Get your shot off quicker or have faith and go by them.’”
[B][I]On what it meant to break the freshman scoring record at Kentucky …[/I][/B]
“It meant a lot, but I didn’t even know I broke the record until after the game. I was surprised I had broken the record and (Jamal) Mashburn’s record. I’m glad I did that.”
[B][I]On if they were a little rusty coming back to practice yesterday …[/I][/B]
“We were good, I was surprised. We worked hard. People were a little tired because of workouts, but we were good.”

[B][I]On playing with more enthusiasm … [/I][/B]
“I just have to continue to do that and work harder and get better every day.”
[B][I]On the difficulty of guarding somebody like Doron Lamb that can shoot from the outside and go past you … [/I][/B]
“It’s real difficult. He’s a smart player, he knows the game. He can jump, he can shoot the ball well, he can do a lot of things. It’s always difficult to guard him.”
[B][I]On how rare it is for somebody to have the mid-range game Lamb has … [/I][/B]
“He’s got it down pat. He’s also got the 3-ball, he can drive the ball. That’s very important in the college game and at the next level.”
[B][I]On his nine assists and one turnover in the last game … [/I][/B]
“It was nice. Basically, it’s just making easy plays and if I can get an assist of that, that’ll be fine by me.”
[B][I]On the dribble-drive playing into his skill set …[/I][/B]
“There’s a lot of opportunity to score the ball, a lot of opportunity to find my teammates and there’s a variety of things I can do.”
[B][I]On his reaction to Coach Calipari saying he would let him take the shot if the game was on the line …[/I][/B]
“If I’m open, I’ll take that shot. I have enough confident to shoot it and make it. I just want to continue to build my trust with him. He’s brought me a long way from my freshman year; I’m happy he’s here and I’m happy to be coached by him.”
