From Gary Parrish of CBSSports.com: “John Calipari has long preached that “nothing good happens after midnight.” I disagree. Because some of the very best things that ever happened to me happened well after midnight, and I wouldn’t trade those memories for all the Final Fours in the world. That said, I do recognize the point the Kentucky coach is always trying to make, and I’ll bet you five bucks Calipari repeats that motto at least 47 times between now and when the Wildcats open the season tonight against Marist.

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.
