John Calipari has had future No. 1 overall picks. He’s even had a player, Anthony Davis, whom he called spider-man.
But for all the talent Coach Cal has had in five-plus seasons at Kentucky, he’s never had a player who inspired a name-based adverb as Willie Cauley-Stein did with his performance against North Carolina.
“Willie Cauley was really–he was Willie good today,” Calipari said.
Cauley-Stein, for the second time in as many top-25 matchups for Kentucky in the last eight days, was the best player on the floor as the top-ranked Wildcats (11-0) took down the No. 18 Tar Heels, 84-70.
“I was just playing,” said Cauley-Stein, who had 15 points, six rebounds, four steals and two blocks.
