Interesting Comments From the Players on Media Day

When they arrived, Daniel Orton and DeMarcus Cousins were playing HORSE and Orton hit a one-handed, underhand three pointer. So, should you find yourself on the blue courts randomly with him, don’t think you can hustle him. He’s a HORSE shark.
- DeMarcus Cousins praised Patterson quite a bit and when asked about his goals, he said “to make history”. When asked if they could go undefeated, Cousins smiled and said “we aren’t thinking about that”.
- An early leader for a great quote, Cousins said he likes Bledsoe because they are “from the same dirt”. I like that.
- When DeAndre Liggins was asked about being the only guy in practice who could keep up with John Wall, Liggins looked up and said “Who said that?”.
- Liggins did stress how different it was this year and called everything “exciting”. He said that this offense is a much better fit for him than last year’s version.
- Daniel Orton said he will return this summer to California to work with Hell’s trainer.
- Some interesting words from Eric Bledsoe who said if Gillispie had stayed at UK, he would have gone to Florida. I can’t recall a player publicly saying something like this up until today.
- Also, Bledsoe said that John Wall coming to UK made him want to be here more. He said he wants to be pushed and wants “nothing handed to him”.
- John Wall was asked about being named pre-season National POY by Goodman and Parrish, he said it was an honor. Dick “Hoops” Weiss followed up and asked what Wall thought pressure was and he replied “That. I didn’t know that”.
- Harrellson says Patrick Patterson has become one of the best shooters on the team. He added that when playing pickup, he will hit 99/100 shots inside the three-point line.
