per Donnelly:

Richard Pitino is keenly aware of the upset potential every night. But he said he doesn't have to harangue his players to maintain their focus. All they have to do is turn on SportsCenter to be reminded of the potential danger that awaits any team that overlooks a seemingly overmatched opponent.

"They see the scores. They see what Michigan's going through. And it can happen to anybody," Pitino said after his team's victory over Southern on Dec. 10. "This time of year is very difficult with finals and non-big-name teams (on the schedule). ... All they need to do is see it and certainly they understand it. It's a tough time of the year for everybody."
