Men's basketball holds an open practice and press conference as they prepare for the national semifinal
"Ryan should be in the best position of any point guard I have ever coached because he's got a year to be tutored without the pressure of having to play. Ryan has major college experience, quickness and an ability to score that you can't teach, but he needs to use this season to take his game to another level physically. If he does that, he should be in a great position when he's eligible next year." -- Head coach John Calipari
