There John Calipari was again, saying unexpected things in a Kentucky huddle.Almost a month after he famously told the Wildcats he wanted them to lose at LSU, Coach Cal had an interesting reaction when UK found itself down nine with barely nine minutes left at Georgia.”I hope we go down 10,” Calipari told his team.Just like against the Tigers in UK’s last close game, there was a reason Calipari was talking that way.”We need to find out who’s who, who’s going to make a play, who’s going to do stuff, who’s going to play,” Calipari said. “I kept saying, ‘Scared money don’t make no money.’ “There no fear in the way the top-ranked Cats (30-0, 17-0 Southeastern Conference) closed out the Bulldogs in a 72-64 win, especially not after Georgia was up six with five minutes to go. “We’re a really together team, so we knew we just had to lean on each other and depend on each other and that’s what we did,” Aaron Harrison said. “Players came through.”Harrison, unsurprisingly, topped the list.The clutch sophomore guard scored 14 of his 16 points in the second half, including five points in a decisive and game-ending 16-2 run. “Aaron, of course everyone knows what he’s going to do in a big game,” said Andrew Harrison, who started the run with a 3-pointer. “And Karl(-Anthony Towns), Karl stepped up great down the stretch.”Similar to that close call at LSU, a mistake by Towns seemed it might end UK’s bid for an unbeaten season. Backing down in the post, Towns extended his arm attacking the basket rather than kick to a wide-open Tyler Ulis at the top of the key. The result was the fourth foul on Towns with 5:50 to go. “They double-teamed him and he had Tyler Ulis wide open and he ball faked,” Calipari said. “Why? And then he charged the guy. Throw it to the – don’t be a hero. That’s the thing he’s learning. Easy play. Quit trying – he is so good, you don’t have to do crazy stuff. Other guys do. They have to do crazy stuff to stand out. You don’t. Why are you doing it?”A little more than two minutes later, with UK on a 6-0 run to tie the game, Towns checked back in and Calipari called for the offense to run through the 6-foot-11 freshman. He promptly scored seven of the Cats’ next eight points to finish a dominant 19-point, seven-rebound performance.”That’s how much I think of him,” Calipari said. “I know he has the courage and he has the skill and the ability, and that’s what we did: We went to him late.”But if not for UK’s defense, Towns’ offense would have mattered little.In building the lead, Georgia had a stretch of seven straight possessions with points and later three straight. It was around the five-minute mark that Towns spoke up and said the Cats needed three stops in a row to climb back into the game.Andrew Harrison, who scored 12 points and steadied a UK offense that committed a season-low three turnovers – raised him to five.”I was looking at my jersey number,” he said. “Nah, I mean, we just wanted to get as many stops as long as we could. That’s what we did.”On cue, the Cats – with the help of two missed front ends of one-and-ones – held Georgia scoreless on six straight trips, much to the chagrin of a raucous Stegeman Coliseum crown.”They’re starting to be empowered,” Calipari said of his team. “They’re starting. Last year, it was about this time they said, ‘Alright, we can listen to everyone make excuses for us, tell us it’s not me, personally, it’s somebody else. Or, we can come together and do this.’ And they did it. This year, right now, again, I don’t want them relying so much on me. I want them to be about themselves.”The Cats are accepting that challenge, whether that’s in games like the five straight blowouts that preceded Tuesday or a hard-fought battle like the one Georgia gave them.”It definitely builds confidence to know that we can win a close game ’cause we have guys that have been through this, and even our younger guys are mentally tough and ready for it,” Aaron Harrison said.
