Throughout the off-season, Coach Cal has made sure to set the bar lower than where it was left at the end of the 2009-10 season, telling fans that they should expect the Cats to drop several early games in their second year under him. Given the incredibly successful season a year ago that saw only three defeats, that's not really surprising. But, Mark Story says there's

Every UK coach except for Rick Pitino has struggled in his second season in Lexington and it appears that Calipari, who averaged a 7-win improvement in Year 2 at his previous college stops, is set to join the group. That group also has six NCAA titles, so there's no real shame in that.
