Tenth-ranked Kentucky returns to action Wednesday against North Dakota with coach John Calipari trying to move his basketball team forward by taking a huge step backward.

"We went too far and tried to do too much and didn't really get established in what we wanted to be," Calipari said Tuesday. "All the stuff that makes us who we are, we didn't do any of it. But I"ve gone back to some old school. We've gone back and just said, 'Let's get this stuff down.' So hopefully when you watch us you will see a little different team and you will say, 'OK, I get it'."

Kentucky is 1-1 with a 71-59 victory Friday over Southern Illinois that followed an embarrassing 118-84 blowout loss to Duke in the Nov. 6 season opener.
