Love him or hate him, Coach Calipari is the perfect fit for Kentucky. The program has virtually unlimited resources. Their fan base is huge. They have history. And he's used all of that to make them cool.

He already has more followers on Twitter than all other D1 head coaches combined. He's also over social media, contstantly sending out updates which are, well, cool. It's all charities, hoops, and people young basketball players think of as celebrities.

And he's on - 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. As soon as the Wildcats won last year's National Title, Cal was already talking about hitting the road to recruit.

Take a look at this video. His team trailed Duke 33-31 at halftime, and he was pulled aside for the halftime interview. Here's what he had to say:

In their huge matchup with Virginia Commonwealth, the Shockers' Rob Baker did his best to keep his team in it with plays like this.

1. Davidson's impressive offensive attack is led by Jake Cohen and De'Mon Brooks, two players who can score from all over. But against New Mexico, Cohen only made 1-5 twos (20%) and 1-7 threes (14%), and scored just 9 points. Only six times all last season did Cohen fail to score at least a point per shot attempt.

2. Davidson only managed 9 offensive boards off of 37 missed shots, for a 24.3% OR%. Davidson is typically one of the better offensive rebounding teams in the nation, and in head coach Bob McKillop's worst season ever his team averaged just under 33% a game. New Mexico, however, has been an elite defensive rebounding team under Steve Alford, finishing among the nation's top-10 in his first three seasons, and were No. 22 and No. 29 the past two. This game featured a clash of styles, and New Mexico clearly exerted their will when it came to the boards. The Lobos were also able to rebound half of their own misses.

Todd Dybas, a reporter for the Tacoma News Tribune and a contributor to SI.com, was repremanded by the University of Washington on Sunday during the Huskies 85-63 win over Loyola (MD). Did he leave the area to which the press is restricted? Did he eat too much free food? Was he openly cheering for the visiting team? Talking too loud on his phone? Nope, he tweeted too much.

Also, tonight I was reprimanded by the University of Washington for tweeting too much during a live event.

It turns out that the university has a policy which only allows credentialed media to send 20 tweets during a basketball game. And the university "reserves all actions against Credential Holder, including but not limited to the revocation of the credential. UW and its designated personnel shall be the final authority on whether a Credential Holder or Credential Entity is following the Live Coverage Policy."

In other words, they monitor your tweets. And count them on a clicker.

When Youngstown State released their non-conference schedule over the summer, it seemed to profess over-confidence. Even though those in the know in the Horizon League knew the Penguins likely had the best team in their program's history on their hands, it looked like their schedule wasn't going to do them any favors: Only four of their first 16 games against Division-I opponents were at home, including six of their first eight games of the season on the road, and endless quality opponents.

But less than a week into the season the Penguins are proving the skeptics and the believers wrong: This schedule might not be challenging enough.

On Saturday YSU easily handled George Washington -- even though starting two-guard and All-Horizon first-teamer Kendrick Perry reportedly wasn't at 100 percent -- en route to an 80-73 win against the A-10 team, and last night -- just two days later -- the Penguins rolled past Georgia, 68-56, after leading the whole way. That's the first time that the Penguins have ever beaten a team from a BCS conference, and only their fifth win in 27 tries over an A-10 team in the last 10 years, and both were in impressive fashion: Dominant, on the road, textbook wins.

Understand, Youngstown State has never made the NCAA Tournament. In fact, they've finished among the bottom two teams in the Horizon League for seven of the past ten seasons, and their 16-15 finish last season was their first winning season since 2000-2001. But this is a team on the verge of making a lot of history, and you should get to know them. Start here.

Every Monday Run the Floor will list the games not to be missed. Plan your schedule. Set your DVR. Get your hoops on. This isn't just a list of the biggest games of the week - but rather, the ones which should have high entertainment value.

Davidson at New Mexico, MONDAY (technically Tuesday on the east coast), 2 AM EST, ESPN. Unless you're a serious night owl or live on the west coast, then either catch a nap or set this one to record. Davidson is full of skill, and stars De'Mon Brooks and Jake Cohen will be worth the price of admission. New Mexico, from the stacked Mountain West, is entering the post Drew Gordon era, but Steve Alford has plenty of talent to work with.

Michigan State vs Kansas, TUESDAY, 7 PM, ESPN. Get home from work, turn on ESPN, watch until sleepy time. First up, Sparty, who already has a loss on the season (to UConn), vs Kansas. The combined star power these two lost is impressive - Draymond Green, Brandon Wood, Thomas Robinson, Tyshawn Taylor - but not nearly as impressive as the fact that both are still absolutely loaded.

Duke vs Kentucky, TUESDAY, 9 PM, ESPN. Immediately following Michigan State vs Kansas, these two powerhouses tip off. Kentucky had a close call vs another ACC team (Maryland) to kick their season off. The Blue Devils have a great mix of youth and experience, while Kentucky is almost all youth. Should be fun.

5-9 Ahmad Starks of Oregon State has developed a reputation as a 3-point specialist. But now and again he reminds people that there other reasons a 5-9 guy earns a scholarship to a high major university.

Here's the junior scoring over the 7-5 freshman Sim Bhullar at New Mexico State.

1. Alabama State was held to 12-56 shooting, including 8-36 (22.2%) on twos and 4-20 (20%) on threes. For the game they scored 35 points. The last time the Gators held anyone below 40 was against Presbyterian in 2009.

2. Senior Kenny Boynton is the only junior or senior player left in college who was a consensus top-10 recruit. So it's fair to expect a big season. After the Gators first game was canceled due to inclement weather, Boynton got his season off to a good start with 22 points, including 4-4 from beyond the arc. He also added 6 boards, 5 assists, and did not commit a turnover.

The military and hoops have been all over the news. But none of the news involved the All Military Classic. Rather, it was the carrier games that got all the attention. So while one of the carrier games was canceled before it began, one was canceled at half due to degrading court conditions, and one was delayed by weather for two days and ultimately played in blinding sun and winds gusty enough to turn free throws into airballs - the All Military Classic proceeded without a hitch. And in the AMC there were no faux camo uniforms. There were no made-for-tv interactions between soldiers and players.  In fact, it wasn't even on t.v., and many of the players are soldiers.

You'd think, with this being played on the of Veteran's Day, and on the actual day itself, that there would be a market for this thing. And you'd be wrong. We prefer our Patriotic hoops played by the games' elite in fake uniforms. At least when the games aren't canceled.

The Carrier Classis with Syracuse vs San Diego State hasn't been much to watch - windy, bright sun, and lot of turnovers. But C.J. Fair served up an alley oop to Rakeem Christmas, which drove a sweaty Dick Enberg to his feet.

"That's a holiday dunk" - dick enberg after a rakeem Christmas dunk....what the hell is a holiday dunk - enberg is an idiot
