On a night that lacked rhythm from start to finish and was frankly fairly ugly, Andrew Harrison’s game was anything but.”Andrew Harrison, look at how he played today,” John Calipari said. “Drew fouls, ran our team.”Harrison was excellent in a rematch with Missouri, needing just four field-goal attempts to score a team-high 15 points. He got to the line 11 times, making nine, and added three assists, three rebounds and three steals. All told, he was the biggest reason why No. 1 UK moved to 20-0 (7-0 Southeastern Conference) with a 69-53 win over the home-standing Tigers (7-13, 1-6 SEC) on Saturday night.”He did a great job of running his team,” Calipari said.It was a confidence-boosting performance for a player who Coach Cal often says is too hard on himself.Harrison entered the game shooting just 32.7 percent from the field and 21.9 percent over his previous 10 outings. The difference, in his mind, is simple.”Just being more aggressive, really,” Harrison said. “Being more aggressive and having more confidence in myself, so attack the rim and stuff like that.”Simple as that may be, it’s not always easy to put into practice. That’s why Coach Cal has so consistently pounded the idea into his sophomore point guard’s head.”It’s like I said: You have the green light to go play basketball, but not mess around with the ball,” Calipari said. “Go by people, get fouled and no one’s stopping you.”Coach Cal has compared Harrison to a former pupil in that respect, saying he falls victim to the same kind of sensitivity as Derrick Rose did when it comes to his own failure. The difference, says Calipari, is that Harrison isn’t yet able to consistently turn that into something positive.”He is too self-critical,” Calipari said. “And it’s OK to be self-critical if you’re using it to improve yourself. But if you use it–your inner dialogue buries you, then you gotta change your inner dialogue.”As a result, Harrison has struggled at times. The same, however, is true for most all his teammates.”What’s happened for this team, all year guys have played poorly (at times) and we’ve still won,” Calipari said. “So maybe it was Dakari (Johnson). Maybe it was Karl(-Anthony Towns). Maybe it was Willie (Cauley-Stein). Maybe it was Marcus Lee. Maybe it was guards. Maybe it was Andrew. Maybe it was Tyler (Ulis), who couldn’t play against Mississippi at the end of the game. Maybe it was Devin (Booker), today and in a few games early in the year where he just played awful.”The latest player to find himself mired in a short-term slump is Cauley-Stein, who managed only two points and three rebounds. Harrison can relate to his 7-foot teammate, and that makes him certain Cauley-Stein will come out on the other end of it.”You’re going to have your up and down games,” Harrison said. “Just like myself, I haven’t been playing well either. So Willie will be fine. Willie will do him and he’ll be just fine. I can promise you that.”In the meantime, the Cats are going to try to keep piling up Ws no matter who’s playing well and who isn’t.”Well, it’s OK,” Calipari said. “We can win without you. Just play hard. Play with energy. And that’s, I think, what makes this team pretty good.”
