If you can’t squeak by them, crush them.With all the focus on Kentucky’s recent late-game woes, the Kentucky men’s basketball team used an alternate strategy Saturday to improve its home winning streak to 32 games: Get out to a huge lead and never look back.That seemed to be the plan of action Saturday at Rupp Arena as the Kentucky men’s basketball team buried a struggling South Carolina team with a game-opening 15-0 run. UK never trailed by fewer than 13 the rest of the way, led by as many 36 and won handily, 90-59, before a crowd of 24,338 fans.The 31-point margin was the second-largest margin of victory for the Cats in a Southeastern Conference game this season. Kentucky pummeled LSU by 38 points in January.It was only the second time in the last nine games UK has been a part of game decided by 10 points or more. The early cushion was a nice sense of relief with the microscope of Big Blue Nation so focused on the final few minutes.”What I put on the board prior to the game was: Goal number one, let’s just get better,” Calipari said. “Let’s improve. Let’s try to go 40 minutes. Let everybody on this team know you know what your job is. Do your job.”Everyone did their job in the Kentucky effort, none more so than veteran Darius Miller.  Proving once again that there’s no figuring him out, the junior guard/forward had his second straight solid game with a groin injury. Miller scored a career-high 22 points on a career-high six 3-pointers. He scored six during UK’s 15-0 opening-game run and also had nine rebounds and three blocks.”I felt the same way as always,” Miller said. “My teammates did a great job. We all executed plays and I was left open a lot. That’s why I hit shots.”It was the second game in a row Miller had plenty of open looks. A game after Mississippi State coach Rick Stansbury told his team to back off Miller and let him shoot it, Miller got eight looks from behind the arc and buried the first six of them.”We weren’t picking our poison,” South Carolina head coach Darrin Horn said when he was asked if Miller’s open looks was a predetermined game plan to limit UK’s other scorers. “We don’t believe in leaving someone else open. Credit him for making open shots.”Despite the swoon of a week ago where the Cats lost three of four games, games like Saturday’s and performances by Miller are why Calipari says he likes this team so much. Depth isn’t there and experience isn’t a luxury, but talent from one through six is pretty hard to look past.It’s why, about a month ago this time, Calipari started taking direct aim at his veterans to play better and take more control of the team. Brandon Knight, Terrence Jones and Doron Lamb were always going to get their points, but for UK to become a complete team, players like Miller and DeAndre Liggins had to step up their games.When all five, in addition to Josh Harrellson are going, it’s as talented of a six-man rotation as any team in the country.”I think it’s obviously a joke that anybody would refer to (Liggins and Miller) as role players,” Horn said. “I don’t know what that means. I don’t know any role players that get 22.”Kentucky kept its hope alive for a first-round bye in the Southeastern Conference Tournament, but the always-demanding Calipari left the game wanting more.Even though Miller had a career night, Calipari focused more on a defensive lapse in the second half than Miller’s perimeter performance.”He had one stretch that I wanted to choke him because he had played so well, so aggressive, so strong, why would you go for two minutes and revert?” Calipari said. “You can’t let yourself know that you can be that way.”Also, Calipari wasn’t content with a 31-point win either. Although Kentucky’s lead was never in danger, UK had stretches of sloppiness when South Carolina started to assert its full-court press. “We try to play like we’re scared to lose,” said Jones, who recorded his fourth double-double in his last six games with a 19-point, 12-rebound outing. “It’s difficult (to focus when you’re up that much), but the way coach was coaching today like the score didn’t matter, it made it better.”Calipari made sure this one wouldn’t get close, burning two early timeouts in the second half. When South Carolina went on a 9-0 run, he called a 30-second timeout, and he used another one after a Sam Muldrow tip-in during a 7-0 Gamecocks run.”I don’t want them looking at the score whether we’re up, whether it is close; just play and execute,” Calipari said. “You may say, ‘You are going nuts and you are up 25.’ Yeah, because we were up 17, 18 and all of a sudden turned around and it was five (in previous games). We’ve done that a couple times.  So I’m trying to get them to forget about the score. Let’s worry about execution.”The first time against South Carolina, UK let an 18-point lead slip down to six in the closing minutes, and against Mississippi State on Tuesday, the Cats let things get interesting in the final 60 seconds. That wasn’t the case Saturday as Kentucky went into the locker room with a 50-21 halftime lead.”Coach (John) Robic, as we walked in, said, “What did you want, a shutout?” ‘ Calipari said.Maybe he just wanted to avoid another cardiac finish.
