I am not a Calipari hater, but what's the problem? It used to be that all his 1 and done guys would lack continuity and experience but have such extreme talent that he could blend it together. I can't imagine Kentucky hoops is serious outbid on NIL money. Is he a chef who gets great ingredients but can't actually cook a michelin star meal? Is it a style he likes to play that doesn't work anymore? I don't think that game was blown on late game Xs and Os that the coach is responsible for. There was like only 1 dumb as rocks shot by Sheppard down the stretch, and that's just one of your stars having a cold night doing something cocky. Jayson Tatum does that a lot, too.
I mean, KY was a 3 seed, so it was still probably a borderline top 10 program based on regular season.
