IU coach Tom Crean (pictured) says the Wildcats are now playing better as a unit."As good as each individual player is on the team, I think it’s a great credit to (UK Coach John Calipari) in a way that no matter who’s there, no matter who’s not there, they continue to play at a really high level. I don’t think that defensive field goal percentage is an accident. I think they’re really, really good," Crean said.
