So many haters of Coach Cal, but he calls it like it us. I think he said we would be very tuff to beat when the year started. Hoping we can keep our run going and prove him right

Cal can put out the BS with the best of them, but he can also tell it like it is. It isn't easy to do what he does, trying to deal with a whole squad of highly-decorated would-be all-stars. He has to be as much a lion tamer as a coach. He tries to recruit guys he thinks will be receptive to coaching and willing to do things like share the ball and play defense that they mostly haven't had to do before, but it is hard to change a guy's mindset overnight. Not all teams of all-star freshmen fit together as well as last year's bunch. It may be that some of this year's crop came in thinking last year was just the way it ALWAYS is at UK, so all they had to do was hop on board and ride that championship train.
