John Calipari is currently on the road recruiting, so Assistant Coach Joel Justus filled in for Coach Cal on the UK Sports Network’s weekly call-in radio show. And, of course, one of the first questions he was asked by a fan revolved around this team’s defining trait – their defense. The Wildcats are living or dying by how well their defense is performing this season – especially down the stretch – and Coach Justus knows that.
“Now that you’ve played 30 games, and some of those have been close, we know defense is who we are,” Coach Justus said.
