Trevathan, Guy to return By Ben Jones bjones@kykernel.com
Junior linebacker Danny Trevathan and junior safety Winston Guy will return to UK for their senior years after having their draft status evaluated by NFL personnel. Trevathan tweeted on Friday morning from his account on Twitter.com/22luvduece the following: “It’s official “one more year”!!! #unfinished business #leggo” Later on Friday morning, Guy tweeted on his account referencing spending another year with Trevathan and the program from his own account on Twitter.com/KentuckyBoy21: “Feels good to workout, I want and need to be in the best possible shape of my life. Time for progress. Another year to rock with @22luvduece” A UK Athletics news release confirmed their decision Friday afternoon. “I feel like I have a lot of unfinished business,” Trevathan said in the release. “Overall, I just want to win and get the program where it needs to be. My evaluation (from the NFL) came back good but the easy way is not always the best way. I waited this long for the NFL, it can wait (another year). I want to enhance my game. I’m 228 (pounds), I want to work toward 235 or 240. I’m definitely going to finish school and that opens more windows in my life.” Trevathan is expected to graduate in December. His evaluation placed him as a fourth or fifth round draft pick. He led the Southeastern Conference in tackles this year and led the team or tied for the team lead in tackles for loss, forced fumbles and sacks. He was named All-SEC despite playing for a defense that surrendered over 28 points per game. “I have unfinished business,” Guy said in the release. “This is my time to step up and be a leader for this team. I’m going to try to be more vocal and lead the team by how I work. I love that I’m going to get to play with Danny another year. I want to do everything I can to be the best player and student I can be. I talked to my parents. My mom said the NFL will always be there. She wants me to graduate.” It’s unknown what Guy’s NFL stock was. He finished the year second on the team in tackles with 81, and led the team with three interceptions. It was widely expected that he would return. He’s on track to earn his degree in May of 2012. “I’m excited to have Danny and Winston back with us,” UK head coach Joker Phillips said in the release. “Overall, an extra year will help them develop as players while they continue toward their degrees. And, another year in the weight room with Coach (Rock) Oliver will do nothing but help them.” Junior wide receiver Randall Cobb became the sixth player in UK football history to enter the NFL draft early when he declared he would forgo his senior year of eligibility. Cobb, Guy and Trevathan were the only three UK underclassmen to have their draft stock evaluated. The deadline for underclassmen to make their decision to remain in the draft or remove their name was Jan 15.

Crowds gathered for the Martin Luther King Jr. march on East Main Street on Monday.
Pride drives MLK Jr. march Celebration unites students, Lexington community By Drew Teague news@kykernel.com
Lexington residents and students took to the streets Monday to honor a civil rights activist. People gathered at Heritage Hall in the Lexington Center before 10 a.m. to take part in the annual Martin Luther King, Jr. commemorative program, and what would be King’s 82 nd birthday. About 20 minutes before 10 a.m., singing began over the public announcement system, inviting everyone to join in the words to the songs passed out by members of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority. Many people brought their own signs or banners to carry during the walk, to show their organization or personal commitment to King’s mission. Lexington resident Mike McNeal has been participating in the event for more than a decade and brought a self-made cloth sign featuring a portrait of King. “The No. 1 word is peace,” McNeal said. “That’s what I’m all for. I’ve been coming to this for 15 years.”
McNeal helped lead the march with community leaders, like Mayor Jim Gray, proceeded down Vine, with various songs being sung along the way. The masses followed, smiling and enjoying the walk with friends and family, enduring the cold. The march turned on Rose Street, and headed down to Main Street, where it made its way back to Heritage Hall. Kalla Hughley, a member of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, helped with the program, by passing out various things to those in attendance, from words to the songs that could be heard through the halls and the march, to the programs for the commemorative program. “I just think it’s a great way for everyone to come together,” Hughley said. We’re all walking for the same cause, the freedom, celebrating MLK’s legacy. I think it’s great that we can all come together and do that. I don’t see white, black or Asian, as long as you’re marching for the freedom.” At 11 a.m., Ann Grundy, cowriter/researcher for the MLK Holiday Program, came out on stage to have a few opening re-

Cool Cats dominate U of L, beat UMBC Sports editor charged with possession By Taylor Moak tmoak@kykernel.com
The Kentucky Kernel’s sports editor has been charged with possession of marijuana and drug paraphernalia. Chandler Howard, a journalism sophomore, was charged with one count of possession of marijuana and two counts of drug paraphernalia on Dec. 10, 2010. Howard said two UK police officers came to his dorm room after authorities received a tip saying someone in Howard’s room had bought marijuana earlier that night. Police knocked on his door, Howard said, and asked if he had anything in his room. Howard said he gave the police a bag of marijuana he had for personal use. UK Police Chief Joe Monroe said Howard consented to a police search of his room and turned over about one gram of marijuana. Monroe said Howard also turned over a pipe, grinder and rolling papers.

Hockey team dispatches in-state rival and knocks off No. 2 team By Gary Hermann sports@kykernel.com
In back-to-back home games over the weekend UK ice hockey had to overcome 1-0 first period deficits. In both games UK came back and won decisively. The Cool Cats played the University of Louisville Friday night and won 18-2. The game was expected to be a blow-out given UK had already beaten Louisville 17-2 earlier in the year. The Cats were aware that a more formidable opponent was waiting for them the following night when they would be hosting University of Maryland in Baltimore County. “We need to play with the same intensity we did tonight,” senior defenseman and team captain Andrew Serres said after the Louisville game. “Tomorrow’s game will be a lot more physical.” UK’s matchup with UMBC was filled with storylines and the players had been waiting months
to play Saturday’s game. Coming into the Saturday night's game, UMBC was ranked No. 2 in the region and UK was ranked No. 11. Every game is important for UK as it tries to make the playoffs and UMBC appeared to be one of UK’s tougher opponents. UK was also looking for payback after a loss to UMBC at regionals prevented the Cool Cats from making the national tournament last season. UMBC took an early 1-0 lead over UK, but freshman defenseman Matt Kinman, who is new to the team this semester, scored the equalizer. The two teams went into the first intermission tied 1-1. It became evident that something was amiss when the Zamboni did not clear the ice during the first intermission. An announcement was eventually made that both Zambonis at the Lexington Ice Center were not working. Without a Zamboni to clear

The officials improvised during the second intermission and actually used snow shovels to clear the ice along the boards. Serres described the ice conditions as “brutal,” but added, “I think we’re more used to it.” In the second period junior forwards Billy Glass and Josh Knicker both scored goals, extending UK’s lead to 3-1 at the end of the second period.
The Cool Cats added three more goals in the third period. UMBC was lost their composure by the third period, having two players sent off the ice for game misconduct. After giving up a goal less than two minutes into the game, senior goalie Derek Steinbrecher shut out UMBC for the remainder of the night and secured a 6-1 victory. See HOCKEY on page 2

PARADE Continued from page 1 Ev’ry Voice & Sing.” The crowd then watched pre-taped messages from both Gray and UK President Lee Todd, who could not attend the program. “That’s exactly what this is, a celebration, but it also presents an opportunity for us to recommit ourselves, as a nation,” Gray said. “Let’s think about this as our rededication and recommitment to Dr. King’s dream.”
Todd also commented on how special this event is, not just to him, but to many in the community and beyond. “I wish I could be with you today, as this annual celebration holds a special place in my heart,” Todd said. “The University of Kentucky has a proud history with this event, from hosting the first such commemoration on our campus many years ago, to many throughout the campus community who have helped plan this event today.” Ending the program was Daniel Beaty, an award winning performer and writer,
performing his one man play titled “EMERGENCY!” The play is about a slave ship that appears in front of the Statue of Liberty, and various people who are witnessing it, seeing their “testimonies on identity and personal freedom”, having played 43 characters by the end of the play. King’s legacy and mission lives on with McNeal, who does not think of King’s name when he sees a picture, but instead the mission King set out to complete. “That’s all I think about when I see [King’s] face, peace,” McNeal said.
HOCKEY Continued from page 1 When the final horn sounded, UK’s player’s celebrated by rushing the ice and piling on Steinbrecher, who played in net both Friday
and Saturday. Junior forward Michael Getz said the Cats showed a lot of “new skill and swagger.” The 6-1 victory proved what the UK team already knew going into their matchup with UMBC. “It was all about our

he had never been in trouble before. Monroe said Howard’s offense was not serious, and the program would keep the charges from showing up on his record. Kernel Editor-in-Chief Matt Murray said Howard will be suspended for one week without pay for not reporting the charges to the Kernel. Howard said he was sorry for his actions. “I’d like to apologize to my family, friends and colleagues for this,” Howard said. “I understand that by taking this position I am expected to be above these things and am held to the same standards as other student leaders on campus. I apologize for not living up to that.”

The ending was precisely as fans would have expected and almost certainly demanded: Miley decides to forgo a Stephen Spielberg offer to star in a movie filmed in Paris not an insignificant temptation to head to Stanford with best friend Lilly Truscott (Emily Osment). Education trumped career. Friendship trumped both. Fade to credits and repeat episodes.

HOROSCOPE Today's birthday (01/18/11). The Dalai Lama said, "Love and compassion open our own inner life, reducing stress, distrust and loneliness." Let these words guide you this year. It's a time for partnership, both for the heart and for the brain. Be compassionate to others and to yourself. Love. To get the advantage, check the day's rating: 10 is the easiest day, 0 the most challenging. Aries (March 21-April 19) — Today is a 5 — The day is filled with emotions. Use your words. When you have a chance, snuggle in bed with your journal and a cup of tea. Write it all down. Taurus (April 20-May 20) — Today is a 7 — Don't believe everything you hear. Stay quiet while others argue, and wait until asked for your opinion. Don't gossip, either. You'll be glad. Gemini (May 21-June 21) — Today is an 8 — Don't stay stuck in what you already know. Move
ahead. Finish up all that stuff you said you'd have done by now, or change the deadlines. Go play. Cancer (June 22-July 22) — Today is a 7 — Figure out how much you can afford to put away for a rainy day. There may be conflict at home. Resolve it with communication, and put it in writing. Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — Today is a 6 — Emotions run a bit rampant today. Journal them for understanding. In the end, as the Beatles said, "the love you take is equal to the love you make." Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Today is a 5 — Shatter your assumptions. They may no longer fit. It may be tricky to get your message across, but it's worth the intention. Think outside the box. Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) — Today is a 5 — The answers you seek today are elusive, but the limitation is an illusion. You're more talented than you think. Find what you need far away. Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) — Today is a 7 — Don't be held back by old sorrows. The answer is clos-
er than you think. Just ask for what you want. It's not a good time to shop, so hold off on spending. Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) — Today is a 6 — Do you really need extra stuff? You might have something already that does the job just fine. Save money easily this way. Consider the impacts of your choices. Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Today is a 5 — A private conference spells out the facts. Think it out before speaking. When you do, let your words come from the heart. Dance with the circumstances. Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — Today is a 6 — Tell them what's up without stirring up jealousies or animosity. Keep your wits about you, and use your imagination. Reenergize at home with family. Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) — Today is a 7 — Listen to your messages. The answer is right in front of you (probably yes). Money's looking better. Don't offer your opinion unless asked. MCT

Pap tests available for sexually active female students at UK They may say “an apple a day keeps the doctor away,” but a recent study has caused confusion for some college Brandy Reeves students. The American Guest Congress of ObColumnist stetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) recently announced changes to the recommendation for Pap tests. They recommend that women wait until age 21 before having their first Pap test, unless otherwise
directed by a clinician. A Pap test is not the same as a pelvic examination, the cause of much confusion. A pelvic exam is part of a woman’s regular annual checkups. During a pelvic exam, a clinician will check a woman’s reproductive organs for any abnormalities or concerns. It is recommended that sexually active women have a pelvic exam yearly, including screening for sexually transmitted infections, to assess their gynecologic health. A Pap test is one part of a pelvic exam because having a pelvic exam alone is not an ade-
quate screening for cervical cancer. “It seems that some college women are confused about the new recommendations,” says Joanne Brown, nurse practitioner. “To clarify, it is still recommended that all women who are sexually active have a pelvic exam along with screening for chlamydia each year, even if they are younger than 21. The Pap test is only one part of an annual GYN exam.” A Pap test is a screening tool for cervical cancer; detecting precancerous changes to cervical cells early, which allows clinicians to treat them, and in turn potentially helping prevent cervical cancer.
There has been a lot of research about the human papilloma virus (HPV) and its connection to cervical cancer. Many sexually active women are exposed to HPV, but almost all will clear this infection without any problems in two to three years. Cervical cancer can develop in women who have a persistent infection with HPV for many years. A vaccine is now available and is effective in preventing infection with HPV if given before women start having vaginal sex. It will still provide some protection when given later. This is available, for a fee, at
University Health Services (UHS) for women up to age 26. While eating apples and other fruits and vegetables are important for a person’s overall health, women still need to have regular health checkups, including an annual pelvic examination. So don’t avoid your clinician! UHS offers pelvic exams, Pap tests and Chlamydia screening at no cost for students who pay the health fee. To schedule an appointment, call 323APPT (2778).

Food donations lack nutritional benefits for underprivileged kids Monday was Martin Luther King Jr. Day, and in honor of the day, many took part in a nationwide Shannon Frazer day of servKernel Columnist ice. According to the website mlkday.gov, this year marks the 25th anniversary of the holiday and a presidentiallymandated service initiative called United We Serve. While Martin Luther King Jr. Day was first recognized as a holiday in 1986, Congress attached the "day of service" in 1994. The website also indicates that more people live in poverty today than did in King's time. About 47 million Americans are estimated to
live below the poverty line. And among the most essential items they need is food. Having volunteered at a local food bank before, and last year taking part in a backpack lunch program for underprivileged elementary school kids, I have seen firsthand the types of foods donated. Yes, that 10-year-old can of lima beans may show up in a donation bin somewhere, but what concerns me more is the multitude of unhealthy food that has trickled its way into the donated fare. The Jan. 13 episode of National Public Radio's "All Things Considered" explained that the food problem isn't an unusual occurrence. NPR reported that food banks, soup kitchens and other food donation services are facing especially rough times, and have been forced to accept food donations that offer
little healthy benefit, such as soft drinks and chips, to those who rely on the establishments' services. In the report, Dr. Mary Flynn, a nutritionist at Brown University, said, "I was told that 'Well, we give it out because if we don't take it, we won't get other food from people when they're distributing it.'" Others have recognized the problem and tried to find healthy, yet cheap, solutions. "Feeding America, a national umbrella group, has set a five-year goal to get 75 percent of what's distributed classified as nutritious," reported Blake Farmer, an NPR correspondent. Farmer said, "To make up for the sweets and soda they have trouble saying no to, many food banks are loading up on things like fresh produce, even if it means more work...Healthy eating is often a choice of quality over quantity, and
since food banking is a volume business, any decision that results in less instead of more takes nerve, especially when the need is so great." By comparison, when I filled backpacks with food, meals usually consisted of prepackaged cereal, flavored non-refrigerated milk (chocolate, strawberry or vanilla), a can of tuna or box of pasta, Goldfish, a Poptart and a jumbo candy bar. The kids who received these meals were to eat them over the course of the weekend, when they may not have the opportunity to receive an "adequate" meal from home. Aside from the minimal nutritional value of what was provided to these kids (no fruits or vegetables, and heavy on the sugars and starches), I was surprised that organizers of the program felt the
foods were any more nutritional than what the children could get at a corner gas station, for instance. As I think about the numerous volunteers who might have performed a similar act of service Monday, I can't help but to say that while their intentions are good, they aren't doing much health-wise for those who will receive the donations. Martin Luther King Jr. once said, "Life's most persistent and urgent question is: What are you doing for others?" I applaud all those who got out and served on Martin Luther King Jr. Day 2011, but to echo King's own challenge. I ask you to consider whether your service truly is helping out those in need.

Jones a super sub after second big game off bench? NICK CRADDOCK
Kernel columnist Terrence Jones doesn’t need the fancy introduction at the beginning of the game with the pyrotechnics that accompany the announcement of a starter’s name. All that pregame pizzazz is not that important to the Wooden Award watch list candidate, Jones, who in less than a week has become the best sixth man in the Southeastern Conference. In fact, he might be the best player to come off the pine in the NCAA. “It’s only the first five minutes,” Jones said. “I was always taught it was the last five minutes that matter most. It’s who the coach trusts most that he puts in the last five minutes with the game on the line.”
The last five minutes of the Cats’ first two home games in the SEC have some similarities: they both involved a team from the SEC West, against teams nicknamed the Tigers and they didn’t matter because each game was a blowout and neither game was on the line. Jones saw his first action coming off the bench on Saturday in the 82-44 win versus Louisiana State at roughly the 16-minute mark of the first half with UK already leading 12-2. A lead that ballooned to 48-19 by halftime. Although Jones didn’t rewrite the record books again, he did put together a solid performance (17 points and seven rebounds in 23 minutes) on a day when an inside presence wasn’t a necessity because of UK’s strong shooting, particularly from beyond the arc (UK shot 50 percent on its 3-point attempts). Still, the question be-
comes whether Jones’ current role lasts for the extended future. At the beginning of the season, it would seem unlikely that this scenario would’ve ever presented itself, as Jones is perhaps the best all-around player on the Cats’ roster. “I don’t think it really matters if Terrence or Doron comes off the bench…I think both kids accept (the role),” UK assistant head coach John Robic said. Calipari has, at times, been frustrated with Jones, who has been prone to slow starts and silly errors to open games and found himself on the bench in several games within a matter of minutes anyway. So as long as Jones continues to produce at a high level as the sixth man, why fix what isn’t broken? “It’s no difference (between starter and sixth man) really, I don’t mind it, because I’m still getting the
same minutes,” said Lamb, who has filled the role of first man off the bench for most of the season. Truth is, starting doesn’t matter as much when the team is firing on all cylinders. Of course, firing on all cylinders is easy against the likes of the bottom feeders of the SEC, so whether Jones’ opinion changes on his new role changes will probably be answered when the first five minutes of a game might be as important as the last five minutes of a game when a win isn’t a guarantee after 20 minutes of basketball. “Ever since the Georgia loss we’ve been more committed to the team and everybody is just going hard for each other in practice,” Jones said. “With us playing like we’re playing, I really don’t care.” Nick is a journalism senPHOTO BY SCOTT HANNIGAN | STAFF ior.

Notebook: On the road, MLK panel and “Shoot” cheers By Aaron Smith asmith@kykernel.com
UK is going on the road again after dropping its first SEC road game to Georgia. No. 12 UK (14-3, 2-1 SEC) is playing Alabama (10-7, 2-1 SEC), and the primary focus is on continuing to play well at the beginning of the game. “From the start of the game, we can’t let them take it to us,” Josh Harrellson said. “We have to initiate everything. Be the first ones to score, be the first ones to throw the first punch.” Whether or not UK is ready to do that after big wins at home against Auburn and LSU isn’t known just yet. “Don’t know,” head coach John Calipari said on his player’s readiness. “Until we get out there and play. We’re seeming to start games
better, seeming to play better defense. We haven’t sustained it.” Calipari drew comparisons to Georgia’s inside men. Alabama is led by forwards JaMychal Green (15.4 points, 7.4 rebounds) and Tony Mitchell (14.4 points, 7.9 rebounds). Alabama is 90 at home this season and 1-7 in road and neutral games. “I’m trying to find a tape that will boost my confidence,” Calipari said. “I haven’t found it yet.” Calipari was honored to be on MLK panel John Calipari participated in a panel discussing the image of black athletes on ESPN Friday. Calipari said he was stopped by a lot of people who had kind words, and his daughter told him it was a special thing for her.
“(The players) liked that I went up there and said it was absurd for me to say I understood what it would feel like to be African American or grow up in the 60s,” Calipari said. “Terrence (Jones) said, ‘I’m glad you said that.’ But it was from the heart.” Jones said he watched the broadcast and complimented his coach. “I told him he did a good job,” Jones said. “I loved the way he started it. It takes courage to go up there, not being African-American, to go and talk in front of people.”Calipari said he was honored to be selected to participate along people such as Spike Lee, Marion Jones, Jalen Rose and Mike Wilbon. When he coached in Memphis, he got a better understanding of civil rights and the ideas Martin Luther King Jr. represented than he did

The backlash against 3D CORY STRINGER
Kernel columnist Unless you’ve been enjoying an extended vacation on the moon for the past year or so, you’ve probably noticed a new trend that Hollywood has become obsessed with: the return of 3D. Thanks to the overwhelming success of James Cameron’s “Avatar,” Hollywood has been rushing to release as many 3D films as they can. In 2010 alone, the major studios released a record 25 films in the format, compared to the previous year, when they only released 11. For those who are keeping score, that means the amount of 3D films released in 2010 more than doubled the amount that were released in 2009. Studio heads and defenders of the format are quick to point out that 6 of the top 10 highest grossing films released last year were 3D, while cranky movie-goers are quick to point out that the price of a ticket for a movie being shown in 3D is, on average, $3.00 more expensive than a ticket for a film being shown in traditional 2D. Simply put, a studio can release almost any movie in 3D and rake in inflated grosses, thanks to premium ticket prices. It doesn’t even matter if the film was originally shot in 3D, either. Of the 25 films released in 3D in 2010, only a select few were actually filmed in the format. The rest of them were converted to 3D in post-production. Many of the hasty postconversion 3D jobs, such as the one done on “Clash of the Titans,” were deemed lackluster by audiences, with some complaining of headaches and nausea during the film. Despite the complaints, the converted 3D films were initially very successful for the studios. However, as audiences
MCT
became savvier about which films were natively shot in the 3D format, the box office grosses of films that were postconverted began to steadily decline, and a vocal backlash began to rear its ugly head not only over the 3D format, but over the often lousy quality of the 3D films themselves. These complaints from audiences have become so common, not even James Cameron, the man who many say is responsible for the current 3D trend, can ignore them. The “Avatar” director, who is currently working on a re-release of “Titanic” (which will be converted to 3D, of course) said that, “I do agree that there's a consumer backlash and I actually think it's a good thing, because what they're lashing back against is some pretty crappy stuff. The consumer position is that if I'm going to pay premium for this ticket, you better show me the money.” He means audiences won’t mind paying a premium ticket price if they’re going to see something that is of the same quality of his own “Avatar,” as opposed to M. Night Shyamalan’s widely despised “The Last Airbender,” which was hastily postconverted to 3D. There is still an obvious question that needs to be answered: Is it really just the poor quality of many of the 3D films being released that’s
responsible for the backlash, or is the problem with the 3D format itself? Aside from the inflated ticket prices and terrible movies, many of the complaints have to do with the clunky glasses, which are necessary for the 3D effect to work, and are notorious for causing eye strain. The sheer number of those questioned for this column who expressed their dissatisfaction with the glasses was overwhelming. It’s clear that audiences don’t like having to wear clunky, recycled glasses that have been worn on an infinite number of greasy, germy faces. Love it or hate it, one thing is certain -- the current 3D boom shows no signs of truly slowing down. This year will see an even greater number of films released in 3D. Thirty-three films have already been announced that will be released in 3D this year, such as the final installment of the Harry Potter franchise, as well as the latest “Pirates of the Carribbean” and “Transformers” sequels. The silver lining in all of this is that the studios seem to be listening to the complaints from audiences, and are moving away from releasing postconverted 3D films. That’s something to consider as we slip on those glasses time and time again, hoping that we won’t catch monkey pox from
growing up in the Northeast. Calipari said race is something he has brought up with his players recently, and that “to say it doesn’t exist today is not being truthful.” “Because they have uniforms on, you’re treated differently,” Calipari said. “They have to understand that there’s still a ways to go. Because they’re content in how they’re treated, there’s still reason to stand up and make sure if there’s anything unjust if you see out there, you say something. If you don’t say something, you’re agreeing with it.” “Shoot” chants are a little old for Polson Jarrod Polson played the final 2:47 of UK’s blowout win against LSU. As usual, he was peppered with crowd cries to shoot the ball virtually every
time he touched it. I asked him if it was getting old, now that he’s played in 11 games. “Honestly, yeah, a little bit,” Polson said after the LSU game. “It’s just, I don’t know, when you cross half court and they’re telling you to shoot. I’m just trying to do what Coach Cal(ipari) wants, run the offense.” After all, it’s not like Polson was picked up out of nowhere. He averaged 18.2 points, 6.4 assists and 4.9 rebounds as a senior for West Jessamine High School. He’s scored six points in 21 minutes this year. Calipari called him the most talented walkon he’s ever coached before the season, before Polson received a scholarship. While it may be a dream to the fans to see him launch a shot from the opponent’s free-throw line, it’s not a sight coming soon to Rupp Arena.
“I don’t really know what would happen,” Polson said. “I’m sure the crowd would love it, but probably not the people on the bench.” Especially Calipari? He wouldn’t want to see the “most talented walk-on” he’s ever coached bomb from beyond half court? Polson laughed. “No, I don’t think so.” Jones may come off bench again Terrence Jones is hiding the skill that Calipari liked best when he was recruiting the versatile forward. And that wasn’t his scoring. “It was his passing. Unbelievable passer. We’re just not seeing that right now.” Calipari said he didn’t know yet if Jones would come off the bench against Alabama.
