John Calipari posted a video back in April that showed his exercising while watching the 2012 national championship game between Kansas and Kentucky.
That night was the very best version of Calipari's approach, a collection of 5-star talents he had convinced to play with max effort, defend and execute in the half-court. Bill Self's team, as it typically does, tried to pound the ball into the post using ball movement and angles. The Jayhawks had 14 possessions end in post-ups.
The two historic programs will battle it out Saturday, but the game Calipari watched during his workout hardly resembles the product both coaches will put on the floor in Lexington.
