Kentucky's loss I'm sure was similar. how do you get a kid motivated to play the Tuesday night before thanksgiving against a school like this when he's already counting his money from the nba?

If you're expected to be the first draft pick before you play in the NCAA, don't you have incentive to reach or exceed people's expectations as opposed to still being elite but being drafted fifth or tenth?
