Head coach John Calipari warned the Kentucky faithful in his introductory news conference that legendary UK coach Adolph Rupp would be rolling in his grave if he could see the Wildcats play early in the season.If the first exhibition game is any indication, he wasn’t kidding.The margin of victory – 36 points – was about what most would have expected against Campbellsville, an NAIA school that head coach Keith Adkins admitted was clearly overmatched. But it wasn’t the high-flying 100-point Dribble Drive Motion Offense some of the 21,384 fans in Rupp Arena were probably expecting to see Monday night.”We just all thought we were going to score 115 today, didn’t you?” Calipari said. “I think the fans thought, ‘This is the dribble-drive?’ Early on this is what it looks like. It’s just not what you think. Hopefully in a week you’ll say, ‘Oh, I see some changes.’ In a month you’ll say, ‘Now I see.’ Two months you’ll say, ‘Boy, they’re unleashed.’ “But Monday night was yet another subtle reminder from Calipari and his team that national championships and Final Fours don’t happen overnight. Sure, the Cats are going to win a ton of games on talent alone, but what everyone saw in the first exhibition of the season is nowhere near the team Calipari wants it to be.Tempering expectations is never easy at UK, but it’s time to start believing Calipari when he says it’s going to take time.”Folks, we’ve got a long ways to go and I knew this,” Calipari said. “You’re talking about a change in culture, a whole new way of playing, a new style, trying to figure out players.”The two glaring weaknesses for UK in the rout over the Tigers were perimeter shooting and turnovers. UK made just 3-of-14 from behind the 3-point line and turned the ball over 23 times.”It may have looked like 30 turnovers,” Calipari said. “We had all kinds (of turnovers). We had carries, we threw to guys in the post when the guy’s fronting him (and) we had charges. There was no real flow of the game.”Now here’s the good part: It’s Nov. 2. It’s the first exhibition game. It’s only two weeks since the first practice. It was with six newcomers. And it was without John Wall.No one inside that UK locker room expected it be a finished product quite yet.”(It’s tough) just getting a feel for (the offense) and being confident with the ball and driving to the basket,” said Patrick Patterson, who finished with a modest four points and five rebounds on 2-of-7 shooting. “He wants everybody to drive, he wants everybody to penetrate, and it’s just the fact that you have to do it. You have to get a feel of one another and just know where to be at the right time.”Calipari said the Cats would be wrong on offense about 70 percent of the time to start the season. Monday’s number might have been closer to 80 percent, he said. Instead of a 12-to-23 assist-to-turnover ratio UK posted Monday night, UK will have more like a 17-to-12 split once the offense is working.”We’ve got to get a couple of guys who can beat somebody on the dribble,” Calipari said. “We had a lot of guys that either did not want to beat a guy on the dribble or weren’t capable of beating a guy on the dribble. You can’t play this offense unless you do that.”The offense started to work when players you might not expect to make a drastic difference entered the game. Calipari said he was encouraged by the play of reserve Mark Krebs, who was one of the few players to come into the game and play through bumps and drive to the rim with a purpose.Also, senior forward Perry Stevenson, who didn’t register a single minute in the first half, scored 11 points in just six minutes of play. Calipari said he didn’t play Stevenson in the first half because he had not shown he deserved playing time in practice.But that’s why games like Monday’s exhibition are so important. It’s a time to develop the offense and find out who can play when things really count.”The greatest thing today is when the popcorn is popping and the lights are turned on and people are screaming, guys start playing a little differently,” Calipari said. “We’ve all got to see that. I’ve got to see that as a coach. When things are really rolling, who are we going to?”For the first time this season, the lights were finally on and things finally mattered. It reaffirmed the notion that changing this culture and sculpting this style is going to take awhile.”It was neat walking into an exhibition game and looking up into the rafters and it was packed. I was stunned,” Calipari said. “And then I looked up with six minutes to go and we’ve got 53 points. A running, pressing team has 53 points. I’m saying ‘Oh, goodness. We’ve got a long way to go.’ ”
