Bruce Pearl has always been complimentary of Kentucky, but while speaking to reporters today at SEC Tipoff, he gave the Cats a compliment of the highest regard, comparing John Calipari's new team to the one that went 38-1 a few seasons ago.
"Here's the thing: with John Calipari and Kentucky, his fanbase hears every year about a new crop of young guys and about every other year, they've been as good as advertised," Pearl said. "
This is another special group. This could be another Karl Towns type group. It could be. Great players, great characters, great work ethic. They could be a really fun team and an exciting team."
"We beat Kentucky last year at Auburn," Pearl added. "It was a great win for our program. That was not one of John's better teams. It just wasn't. This has got a chance to be one of his better teams."
That was so nice I almost feel bad for doing this:
Almost.
Almost.
