FINDING VALUE IN UK LOSS

MidMajorMadness.com profiled Vermont’s

close loss at Kentucky and stated ‘the common

fan should now know what this program is and

what it is capable of. They should know these

Catamounts, especially Trae Bell-Haynes, the

guard with amazing finishing abilities whom

Becker called “special” at the dais tonight.’

MID-MAJOR MADNESS’ WEEKEND WRAPUP

In MidMajorMadness.com’s weekend wrap-up,

the site said the following about the Cats at

Kentucky:

‘Vermont confirmed what every America East

team feared — that the Catamounts are really,

really good, and not just for a mid-major. Ver-

mont played only six guys 10-or-more minutes

and they all contributed in a major way. On

top of that, the team showed poise down the

stretch, coming back and almost beating one

of the best teams in the nation on the road.’

CALIPARI’S QUOTE ABOUT UVM

After his Kentucky Wildcats were almost the

victim of an upset, head coach John Calipari

complimented UVM on its efforts:

“You cannot play Popcorn State and learn

anything. You’ve got to play good teams. I

didn’t realize how good (Vermont) was until I

watched the tape. Then I was like, ‘who sched-

uled this game? This is ridiculous.’ They just do

an unbelievable job. If you watch them, they

create good shots for each other each time

down, they are either shooting layups or 3s,”

Calipari continued during his post-game news

conference. “Defensively, they fight like crazy,

they are a terrific rebounding team.”
