It happened 15 days ago, the blue and white confetti covering first-year Kentucky basketball coach John Calipari‘s carefully coiffed hair like a heavy snow. Pumped up by Kool and the Gang’s classic “Celebration,” his Wildcats surrounded him, dancing, singing and laughing atop Rupp Arena’s floor. Up in the stands, nary one of the 24,364 seats empty, adults of all ages shared tears of joy. All this commotion for an 88-44 victory over Drexel that had pretty much been over from the opening tip, with Christmas just four days away and the hour growing late?
