Some people just have to touch the stove to see if it's warm, no matter what anyone tells them.
Cincinnati forward Gary Clark might be one of those people, judging by a quick sequence at the start of Saturday's game against top-ranked Kentucky.
Watch what Clark does just as CBS color analyst Jim Spanarkal shares interim coach Larry Davis' belief that none of his players should test Kentucky's height if two opposing players are defending the rim.
That's Willie Cauley-Stein and Karl Anthony Towns teaching Clark the lesson in a brilliantly-timed piece of comedy when you figure in Spanarkal's anecdote (which of course Clark couldn't hear, but you figure he heard the warning from Davis before the game).
Nonetheless, Cincinnati didn't look scared of the bigger, badder and undefeated Kentucky team early on, leading the Wildcast 22-21 with just under five minutes left in the first half.
