Calipari Changes Practices to 6:15 A.M.

Kentucky coach, John Calipari, has decided this Kentucky team neads drastic measures.


"We've got good kids and they're trying, but we're not where we need to be. I don't like what it looks like, and I could go down each player," Calipari said. "So we've got a little curfew going. We've got morning practices. And I'm back into an exercise killer so you know where mind is right now. They'll either catch up to it or be dragged through glass."


This is what Freshamn DeMarcus Cousins had to say on it...


"We knew it wasn't play time any more," DeMarcus Cousins said. "We've got the other Cal. Intense and focused. It's a whole new Cal. It ain't the laid-back, chilled Cal no more. We've got to get with the program now."


"You make sure you set that alarm clock and then we have the managers wake us up, too," Cousins said. "You oversleep, it's a real problem."


DeMarcus Cousins said he's never practiced that early in the morning, let alone see the outside world that early.


"I've gotten their attention," Calipari said. "Coming in, everything was positive and upbeat and hugging them. OK, now how do we get to the next level? I tried to be the same guy and get them to the next level and it didn't work. Now, they have the other guy with the hair growing on his back."
