+++Definitely some serious confidence being exuded from the UK baseball players. They believe talent there to reach Omaha. And yes, they are still a little ticked at how last season ended. Said they learned a lot from that experience, better for it.

+++UK coach Gary Henderson said weekend pitching rotation will include trio of Corey Littrell, Jerad Grundy and A.J. Reed; Chandler Shepherd slated to work out of bullpen.

+++Henderson says the fact he has a roster of guys who believe they're good helps with the inevitable ups and downs of baseball. Said when you have a lot of really confident personalities in a room together they feed off that and build culture.

+++Henderson, on Austin Cousino: 'He's really talented, really smart and not scared. Kids feed off him. We're big fans.'

+++Henderson: '"The obvious things are we need right handed hitting production. We need growth in the bullpen."

+++Kentucky has the second-most players in the country on its roster that have been drafted at some point (15). Speaks to their talent.

+++Henderson, on the difficulty of the schedule: 'I've been here long enough I don't get wrapped up in that anymore.'

+++Henderson, on talk of reaching College World Series: 'I think if you tak too much about June, you forget what you need to do in February.'
