After yesterday’s game, there’s definitely going to be some interesting stats. It even seemed Coach Calipari might have been playing the numbers game as he chose not to play his bench despite a thirty point lead. He might have been giving a lesson on finishing out games, and he may have been trying to make everyone win an impressive win. After all, we all know how he feels about seeding in the NCAA tournament.
