OK, you talked me into it #BBN.

Game is at 4 p.m. on @CBSSports. I'll post my comments on here as I'm watching.

Will be my first time watching the game in about seven years. https://twitter.com/UKCoachCalipari/status/1246839878349922307
Just sat down in my seat and ready to do this. Hope to have some fun with this, #BBN.

The good news about this: I know the result!!!

Tune in now on @CBSSports if you want to follow along with me.
Always try to tune everything out as a coach when we take the floor so I can focus on my guys but I remember how crazy our fans were that whole week in New Orleans. #BBN was unbelievable!!!
When we rebounded and flew, we were really good. Why was my memory that we led from start to finish?
Having @MKG14 be able to guard their point guard and be able to take away one of their threats, that made us special.
At the practice the day before and at the shootaround, all we talked to @DLamb20 about was, "You're going to get 25 points in this game." He was GREAT on that stage!!!
What we strive for every year is to either play fast, which we prefer, or grind it out if we have to. This team was one of my best at doing either.

And when did I get gray?!?!
Can you see the impact @AntDavis23 has on the game? It’s not just what he does offensively. And I forgot how much @marquisteague25 improved from the beginning of the year to the end.
The physical presence of @TerrenceJones1 to be able to be tough on Thomas Robinson made it so we could free up @AntDavis23 to go block shots. And I love the way @MKG14 was shooting free throws.
Wow, what an effort by @MKG14!!! What a fighter.

We had five scorers on the floor at all times, which made it hard to double team. And we had guys that accepted roles and how they had to play for our team.
When you watch his ankle turn, you understand how tough @TerrenceJones1 is. And he popped right back up! Unbelievable!!!
There are two things that stand out to me so far: One was how this team created good shots for each other. And two, how @AntDavis23 was guarding and helping on all five men on defense.
. @DmillerKY was such a big reason that we were able to win because of his ability to make baskets, make free throws and his toughness in situations that we needed.
Two big plays for @EVargas30 The screen and now the tip away. Everyone played a part!!!
This may have been where the game was won -- when @AntDavis23 walked into that locker room at halftime and said, “I can’t make a shot. I’ll get every rebound, defend and block shots. You guys do all the scoring.” Showed what he was about and continues to be about.
Gotta switch over to the CW if you're in Lexington and want to continue watching the game.
Why am I still getting fired up watching this?!? I already know what happens! Can't help it!!!
Huge play by @AntDavis23!!! Never gave up on the play.
It was here that I didn’t like how the game was going so I went to our grind-it-out offense. I went to it earlier than at any point in the season. I was just wasn’t comfortable with what we were doing offensively.
Coach Hall asked me after the game, “Why did you slow it down so early in the game?!” I thought more guys needed to touch the ball, we needed to move it around, and we needed to put it back on Kansas and make them guard.
Usually I wait until five or six minutes but this game I said, "Nope, not this game." We needed to catch our breath and we still had the plays to score baskets.
Coming out of this timeout, I said, “If we have breakouts, go take what you have. If not, let’s make them guard.” I had a lot of faith in @DLamb20 and @DmillerKY to make shots. I had faith to go to our bigs and post it.
My thought was, the less possessions they had, the better for us. If they didn’t have a lot of opportunities it was going to be hard for them to beat us. Let's see if it works!!!
That shot by @DLamb20 was with 10 seconds on the shot clock. You see what I mean. Grind-it-out!!! Now the pressure is back on Kansas.
Again, pressure back on Kansas. If we weren’t such a great offensive rebounding team and a great shot-blocking team, I probably wouldn’t have gone to the grind-it-out so soon, but I had a lot of faith in our ability to win a close game if it came down to it.
