What makes a team a championship contender? Is it pure talent? Is it heart? You could say these two answers and be partially correct. What I really think puts our Kentucky squad over the top this year is the chemistry that our players have. It is easy to tell that these ball players all like each other and are each other’s support systems. All that’s needed to verify this is taking a look at their play on the court; their reactions to a big dunk by MKG, or helping each other up after taking a hard charge. You can instantly tell that they have each other’s backs. They care about each other. They take up for each other. And they all have one goal in common: Banner #8. Although this Kentucky team is full of talented freshman, and many might speculate they haven’t had time to “mesh”, I would argue that our team has the best chemistry of all the teams in the nation. This is an extremely important factor in building a championship caliber team that some teams just don’t have, plain and simple. Our team chemistry should give us a great advantage over other teams by continuing to finish this year out strong.
