Head coach John Calipari posted on his Twitter account Sunday that he told DeMarcus Cousins that if he doesn’t play harder that UK women’s basketball forward Victoria Dunlap would beat him out for his position.

He may not have been kidding.

As magical as the men’s season has been so far, the women have been equally as impressive. If you haven’t jumped on the women’s bandwagon yet, here are a few reasons why you should:

– Kentucky is off to the best start in school history at 10-0. One more victory and the Cats will tie the program’s longest win streak of 11 games set in 1983.

– UK is knocking on the door of the top 25. The Cats are receiving 36 votes in the ESPN/USA Today Poll, landing them at No. 27 in the rankings.

– The Cats lead the nation in turnover margin (plus-11.1) having forced 20 or turnovers in eight of 10 games this season, including seven in a row.

– UK is outscoring its opponent by a plus-28.2 margin, which ranks second nationally, and has defeated all 10 opponents by double digits, including four opponents by 30 or more.

– Coupled with the men’s undefeated start, UK is one of only two schools in the nation — Syracuse being the other — to have both an undefeated men’s and women’s teams.

– As usual, we’ll be live blogging the UK women’s basketball game tonight as the Cats take on UT Martin. Tipoff is scheduled for 7 p.m.
