08:34 AM ET 03.21 | Michael Kidd-Gilchrist admitted he was looking for payback against Indiana. By Tuesday, though, Kentucky coach John Calipari was trying to tone down the talk of payback and focus his players on tightening up any remaining weaknesses, of which there appear to be very few. "He's the youngest freshman in the country," Calipari said of Kidd-Gilchrist, who recently turned 18. "They say stupid things. I don't ever teach anger, because the physiology of that is really close to fear. So if you try to make your team angry ... and it doesn't go right, it turns into fear within their own bodies. So I don't do that. We're worried about us being our best."

Stop with the psychobabble Calipari. We know you teach them to cheat like you.

One of these days the NCAA will finally stop receiving payoffs and expose Calimari (yes, hes slimy like squid) for the cheat he is.

"cipher"? Did you actually mean "decipher"?It appears that you are in no position to impugn anyone else's intellect.

Unfortunatly, that's one of the more intelligent posts he/she has made all week.

I think that he meant to say paycheck instead of payback which leads me to believe that he didn't get his full amount since the loss to Indiana.

AGREED! This jealous dook fan was in an UNC tread saying that even WITH Kendall Marshall that UNC has no chance of winning against UK. I tried to remind them of factual evidence - Dec 3 of 2011 where UNC went into Rupp Arena in KY and only lost by 1 point. And then proceeded to say that if they met in Finals and played on a NEUTRAL court, it was 50/50 who would win. Even presented with that he/she went on to say that there was NO way UNC could ever beat KY. Plain foolishiness and no foundation to stand on. Just jealous about their demise in the ACC tourney, getting blown out at home by UNC, and also losing to a #15 seed.

I believe that cipher is correct which Jethro Bodine often uses in his character role in the Beverly Hillbillies which is taught in graduate school at the University of Kentucky.

Sounds like a lot of ignorant people (Roxboro NC) who talk about cheats, when they are probably UNC fans (BUTCH DAVIS and UNC knows about cheating), and sound like idiots.

There's not an intelligent bone in his body. He has diarehha of the mouth, the only that comes out is crap.

Hey Bobgoe - You suck. How dare you. Arrogant twit. You have never been to KY I bet. We don't need your kind. Ignorant rants like that are for losers - like you.

By the way, you'll love it when UK wins the title.

Now go back to your hole. PS - I have 2 bachelor degrees, a masters degree and love it here. How about you?
