A year ago this week, John Calipari was embarking on an NCAA Tournament journey that would culminate with Kentucky cutting down the nets at the 75,000-seat Superdome in New Orleans. On Tuesday, the UK coach will be in a 3,000-seat gym in Moon Township, Pa., for the National Invitational Tournament.
A year ago this week, John Calipari was embarking on an NCAA Tournament journey that would culminate with Kentucky cutting down the nets at the 75,000-seat Superdome in New Orleans. On Tuesday, he’ll be in a 3,000-seat gym in Moon Township, Pa., wondering if his team has enough gas left in the tank to win a game in the National Invitational Tournament.
It’s been a year of stark contrast for the Kentucky program, and one that continues to baffle Calipari.
