After watching this team all season, one thing has become very clear. They are as close and like each other as well as any team I remember seeing. One hits the ground, four run to help him to his feet. One gets shoved from behind, four are there to defend him. Or like when Anthony Davis was grabbed from behind and thrown to the ground at Ole Miss, one was there to take control. Calipari preaches "be your brothers keeper", and it seems this team has taken that to the next level. They have came in, put their egos aside, and have come together to form one of if not, the best teams in the country. That has to be credited to Calipari. I think no other coach in the country could have assembled this much talent on one team, got them to buy into defense the way this team has, and share the spotlight with everyone on the team. They have formed somewhat of a Band of Brothers.
What this team has done this season is special. Standing at 14-0 in the SEC is no easy feat, then you through in the mix wins over Kansas, UNC, and Louisville. That is impressive for a bunch of freshman, sophomores, and one senior. No matter how this team ends the season, first round exit, or a championship, they have given us one of the most fun seasons in recent memory.
