"Before we left the locker room (at halftime), I said, 'Listen to me, don't you now go out there and try to score. If you have opportunities, score the ball. If you don't, don't worry about it. You were the best player in building, so don't worry,'" Calipari said. "Then he went out and shot the first three balls."

"I was open," Davis chimed in.

"I know why you were open. You were 1 for 10. They were leaving you open," Calipari said as Davis grinned.

But as Davis showed Monday night, he doesn't need to score to dominate a game. Even Robinson had to grudgingly admit that.

"I still don't think he's Superman," Robinson said. "I don't mean to be disrespectful by it, but as a competitor I'm not going to sit here and give all my praise to someone I go up against. Like I say, Anthony is a great player. You see he impacted the game without even scoring today. That's just what he do."

That, and so much more.
