Before playing at Mississippi State on Saturday, Ashton Hagans said it would not be difficult for streaking Kentucky to meet Coach John Calipari’s request to stay humble and hungry.
“Nah, not at all,” he said. “Because at the beginning of the season, everybody thought we weren’t going to be this team. Some people jumped off the bandwagon. Now, they’re going to try to get back on. All we’ve got to do is just stay together as a team, and listen to what the coaches have going on for us.”
Then the game gave Kentucky reason to keep its now 10-game winning streak in perspective.
