If it sounds like a broken record, it is. We are talking about the same problem over and over and over.

"We're worried about the last five minutes of the game right now," says Cal. "We are not worried about anything else."

Cal who is getting the Cats ready for South Carolina Saturday afternoon at Rupp, isn't worried about anything else because he believes if this is fixed, this team is ready to roll.

You can't have it both ways. Since UK continues to have problems down the stretch of games, confidence is still a huge problem for the Cats.

Or, if you want to take a positive spin, the confidence of the team would go way up if the Cats act live veterans at the end of games.

"Yeah, I think it would," says Brandon Knight.

"Once we get to finishing games strongly, I think it will give us a lot of confidence. Just getting wins in general, I think that's the most important thing too. That gives you confidence even though you might fall apart at the end, getting wins helps you out a lot."

The Cats are 18-7. Last years unbelievable record can't be matched.

"I wasn't sure what to expect. No one likes losing, but I just came in and wanted to get better as an individual and as a team, and I think we are doing it this year."

March is right around the corner. The season is almost over.

"It went by pretty fast," says Darius Miller. "All of us were talking about that I think yesterday about how fast the season went by. We're having fun trying to finish out strong."

Miller who says his groin problem which he's been battling since playing Vandy last Saturday is much better. He is as you would expect positive about the Cats prospects.

"Definitely not disappointed in how the season has went so far. We feel like we are a good team and it's not over yet. We can still do something special."

You wonder how many True Blue fans think the Cats can do something special. The guess here is not many believe it's going to happen. But, it's possible if they fix that end of the game problem.
