Before Kentucky games, an assistant trainer offers well-intended words of encouragement to DeAndre Liggins. “He always tells me to score 20 points,” Liggins said on Sunday. “I tell him, it’s not about that. If I score two points and we win, I’m happy because I know I did my job. He’s, like, ‘You’re right, ‘Dre.’ ” Being a defensive stopper does not mean rose petals at your feet and the sound of hosannas in your ears. Such recognition is reserved for basketball’s offensive stars.
Walter Cornett, of Glendale, Kentucky, is the owner and operator of Walter’s Wildcat World. He founded WildcatWorld.com in 1998 making it one of the oldest Kentucky basketball fan sites in operation today.
