On the SEC teleconference this morning, Donovan said he likes the fact his team gets to play against the top team in the country again this weekend on the road because, regardless of what happens in the game, they'll have a chance to find out more about themselves. Donovan said what Kentucky's done this year is "remarkable" and "shouldn't be taken lightly."
"I always like playing against the best. Clearly from start to finish, Kentucky has been by far the best team in this country. I don't think anybody could realistically compare to them, in my opinion, just based on this regular season. I'm not saying the SEC Tournament, NCAA Tournament, things could happen. But if you want to look at a body of work, there is nobody that has been as good as them. That's a great thing for any team to play against a team like that, because you're going to find out more about yourselves. And we're going to find out if we're even in the realm of being able to compete with a team like that, never mind at home but now having to go on the road."
