With less than 48 hours before a noon game against ULM on Saturday, Kentucky held its usual light Thursday practice. Head coach Mark Stoops called it a “good mental day” for the Wildcats.”Guys had good energy, seemed to be locked in, so it was good to start to put our finishing touches on ULM, looking forward to a good game,” Stoops said. “A lot of it’s mental between here and Saturday; just trying to get everybody locked in.”Stoops hasn’t seen any signs of his team relenting in its focus with a break from Southeastern Conference play following a big win over South Carolina on Saturday. Nonetheless, he and his staff continue to harp of the importance of approaching this week and this game the right way.”We have an opportunity to prove ourselves each and every week, no matter who we’re playing,” Stoops said. “I’m sure a lot of people around campus have been telling them good job and slapping them on the back all week and all that stuff, and there’s just so much more we need to improve on. If you’re not ready to play, you will be embarrassed.”For a young team off to its best start in six years and coming off its first back-to-back SEC wins in five years, handling success is more new territory in a season full of it.”Now all of a sudden, yeah, we won two games in a row, and we need to go play well again,” Stoops said. “And it’s a game that we’re favored, and so how are we gonna respond? Are we gonna handle our business and go out and play the same way we’ve been the last couple weeks and take care of our business?”
