USA Today Article: Kentucky Wildcats Basketball

There is an excellent article on USAToday.com this morning about the Kentucky Wildcats. Here are a few excerpts:

Patrick Patteron's father on the new offense:

"I think the dribble drive and the wide-open game with Coach (Calipari) is going to be very good for him, I've wanting him to show that other side of his game," said Buster Patterson, his father. "He's been playing the '5' since he was knee high."

Patterson on the offense and being in shape:

"You have to be able to handle the ball with Coach Calipari and his offense," Patterson said. "It's all about driving to the basket and finishing with layups, whether it is an alley-oop or finishing at the rim or kicking it to a teammate. He is all about running, and he likes the press as well … Being in shape is definitely a good thing."

Patterson speaks about his time spent training in California under Frank Matrisciano:

"The car I have, it stalls sometimes," Patterson said. "If I had it out there, Frank would have had me pushing that for a workout when it stalled. When you're doing it you keep asking yourself, do I really want to stay. People have quit in the program."

Patterson's career goals at UK:

"I want to go down as one of the greatest players here at Kentucky and one of the best ambassadors for the program," Patterson said. "I want to put another banner up on the wall and help my teammates be remembered as well."
