Russ Smith of Louisville was able to put it into words. He reportedly visited the UK locker room after the game to congratulate the Wildcats players. And he was touched that so many took extra time on the court after a big win to congratulate and encourage him. Of UKs players, Smith said, Those are a great group of guys. They show great love. You respect someone when you see a competitor out there on the court. From each class, from my sophomore year on, Kentuckys guys have shown me the same love. And these are new waves of classes, not the same people. So Ive gotten great respect from them, potential NBA guys, and thats great. The twins are fantastic and theyre going to keep getting better. All those guys. (James) Young, (Julius) Randle. Dakari (Johnson), Ive known him since he was little and Im excited for what hes becoming, and you have to love that. And for us, we have guys returning, a great freshman in Terry Rozier, and I cant wait to see him explode next year. . . . If my career had to end, Im okay with it ending to Kentucky. Those boys play hard. They deserve everything thats coming to them. I respect everything about their program and their coaching staff. For me, I just want people to remember me as a great competitor, a great sportsman, someone who respects the game a lot, and whatever it is, I just want it to be a positive legacy. THIS WITHOUT A DOUBT A CLASSY KID !
