It's a debate out there as to who's the best team in the conference. It's time to settle who that is. We're ready for it. It's going to be pretty exciting. This time it's going to be on neutral ground so it'll be a lot more even.

They were calling me up until a week or so before I decided to go to Kansas. I even took an unofficial visit there.

They were really overemphasizing jumping on my right hand. They were trying to force me to go left. Kentucky tried it, but I was still able to get around it. I can go both ways, but I like going to my right hand. My left is a little weak.

Russell coming back in was a real big deal. He helps relieve the pressure a lot on me and Mario (Chalmers, 21 points of 6-of-9 shooting and 6-of-9 free throwing), and he's starting to become a real good scorer. He was ready to get back out there. He was pretty mad about getting the two fouls.

I don't think they were prepared for today, because we knew in our heads that we were going to kill them.
