One thing became certain in the Cats 75-63 win over Illinois State on Monday, the Cats need Tyler Ulis.
Ulis, head coach John Calipari’s ‘floor general,’ has always been considered an important piece of this team, but it has never been clearer than when UK was tied with Illinois State at halftime.
“Without Tyler (Ulis), it’s obvious we’re not the same team,” Calipari said. “I mean, unless you were watching another game, we’re not the same team. But it still doesn’t mean that we shouldn’t play hard and guys shouldn’t battle and fight for balls.
