Official NCAA Tournament Programs MARCUS LEE Forward • 6-9 • 215 • Freshman ROAD TO THE FINAL FOUR 2013-14 Q: As an active member of the Twitter- verse, what was it like to go from 300 followers to 5,000 in one day? A: It was insane. I came out for the week of Big Blue Madness. It was somebody in Big Blue Kentucky Basketball’s Kentucky Madness who said ‘We’re going to get Mar- cus Lee to 5,000 before he comes here.’ I thought, ‘Whatever, no one’s going to listen to you.’ And they started coming in while I’m in school. My phone was like ‘zzz, zzz, zzz,’ and I was like ‘What is happening in my phone?’ And it switched up to 5,000 really quick. I was thinking ‘What just happened?’ It was really awesome. JAMES YOUNG Guard/Forward • 6-6 • 215 • Freshman Q: You chose Kentucky over some pretty tough competition, like Michigan State, Syracuse and Kansas. What lifted the Wildcats to the top of your list? A: Once I came here, it was like a dream come true. It was always my dream school growing up. I fell in love with the place. Loved the cam- pus, great facility, great coaching staff. Once they gave me the opportunity to come here, I just took it. AARON HARRISON Guard • 6-6 • 218 • Freshman ROAD TO THE FINAL FOUR 2013-14 Q: How important has the influence of your father been to you and your brother, not only in teaching you bas- ketball but in guiding you through the fame and celebrity you’ve found at an Kentucky Basketball’s Kentucky early age? A: I definitely wouldn’t be the basketball player I am now. I probably would be in a lot more trouble just because he always taught me how to be a man, really. Everything I do I got from him. JARROD POLSON Guard • 6-2 • 182 • Senior Q: Along with Jon Hood, you are the old- est player on the team. How much responsibility does that bring to the table and how are you dealing with it? A: I don’t think age has that much to do with it, especially with these teams because there are so many freshmen that can be leaders, but I think me and Jon will probably lead by example more than anything. I’m just working hard in practice every day because we’ve been through the ups and downs of a really good season and a really bad season right after that, so we know what to expect. JON HOOD Guard • 6-7 • 215 • Senior ROAD TO THE FINAL FOUR 2013-14 Q: You’re the only player who’s been with Coach Cal from the start. What kind of relationship have you built over the years? A: I’ve built a good relationship. Everybody talks Kentucky Basketball’s Kentucky about their coach being a father figure to them. Same thing for me — father figure, mentor, he will always be there for me when- ever I need it. ANDREW HARRISON Guard • 6-6 • 215 • Freshman Q: Several Wildcats have been drafted into the NBA after one year with Coach Cal. How much did that factor into your decision to come here? A: None really. Everybody knows Coach has a great track record. But, I mean, just coming to Kentucky, there’s a great tradition. There’s no other place like it. SAM MALONE Guard • 5-11 • 185 • Junior ROAD TO THE FINAL FOUR 2013-14 Q: How do you see your role on the team evolving now that you’re a junior? A: Leading these guys on and off the court. By bringing intensity in practice, picking guys up when they need it, and off the court, steering Kentucky Basketball’s Kentucky them in the right direction. WILLIE CAULEY-STEIN Forward • 7-0 • 244 • Sophomore Q: What motivates you as a basketball player and what do you ultimately hope to accomplish when you’re no longer playing? A: My family motivates me.
