TRANSCRIPT: John Calipari after the win over EKU

Q. The defense you guys have played in New York and again tonight, this early in the year how much of that is knowing schematically what to do and how much of it is just grit and determination?
JOHN CALIPARI: Probably both. But we got veterans. So when you’re starting four veterans and then that one guy and the one that’s playing is learning, but he’s really good, Kahlil, defensively, he’s active, he’s long, he gave up threes today, which we got to show him why he did it, but he can stay in front of a guy, he can still block it if you got by him, he’s learning to stay engaged.
