There are so many reasons why this Kentucky team has gotten better since they first threw the ball up.
Some players have already exceeded logical expectations. You could fill in the blanks with a number of UK players, but Josh Harrellson obviously would win that award.
But, if you are looking for one shining star, it could be the new general of the team.
"Brandon, I'm so proud of him," says Cal.
"How many of you were in Hawaii with us? Different player isn't it? Different player. And that's what you want to see guys who want to change and want to get better."
The Cats look like they are ready to roll through the SEC.
"Because Brandon is really running our team and playing for his teammates, he's not playing for himself anymore. He's playing for them. He can say anything he wants now. Early in the season, you can't speak much. Looking at you like man, come on, how about passing the ball?"
Brandon appreciates Cal the teacher and Cal the coach who sees the change in his point guard.
"It makes me feel good just to know that coach sees me a little bit differently now than he did at the beginning of the season," says Brandon Knight.
"And like I said, I give God glory and I just want to continue to trying to get my teammates involved and to make sure I'm looking at everybody else and making sure I'm letting my other teammates getting them to play better. Putting them in the right positions to make the right plays and stuff like that."
Knight not only is getting the ball where Doron Lamb likes it, but he yells at him to shoot.
"He let's us know what we are doing wrong," says Lamb.
"He's doing that right now and that's why we are winning games."
It's all part of the process of putting a team together.
"I think my teammates always respected me," says Knight.
"I think maybe a little bit more so now because we got to know each other a lot more and we're becoming more and more of a family, so maybe a little bit more, now that we bonded a little bit more. When I say something everyone is listening when we huddle up and everyone is in tune when we are trying to figure out what we are doing."
Twice during a four minute interview session with Knight, he praised God for his success.
