It's something True Blue fans have been waiting for since his days at Mason County.

When will Darius Miller finally break out?

He and his teammates believe it will happen this year, because it has too. It's his last chance.

Miller's teammate Ryan Harrow has played a ton of one-on-one with Miller. Harrow says if you get Darius going, you can't stop him.

"I think this year it will happen because me and him been playing one-on-one this year a lot and I talk junk to him. I make it come out of him whenever we play. I talk junk to him so much that he just has to bring it out," said Harrow.

"Hopefully when I'm on the sideline I can talk a little junk to him and it will just come out and he'll dominate like I know he can."

So does another player have to get under Darius' skin before he gets going?

"I don't know if that's what it is or not," said Miller. "If it is, they (other teams) should do it."

John Calipari has been frustrated at times with Miller because he's seen Miller's capabilities, just not always on game day. He said the reaction of the freshmen to seeing Darius for the first time was crazy.

"Who is that? Well, he was MVP of the SEC tournament. So he's more than a practice player. He's not been consistent with it but I think he knows, this is his senior year," said Calipari.

Darius knows his time is short. He wants to win a title before he leaves. He knows he's good enough to play in the NBA. He just has to prove it on the big stage.

"I haven't really shown it, I guess, but I plan on doing it this year," said Miller.
