SAD NEWS: After quarrelling with the head coach star player makes shocking announcement today….
All of John Calipari’s remarks following UK’s shocking loss to Oakland in the NCAA Tournament.
Kentucky basketball suffered a surprising upset loss in the NCAA Tournament for the second time in three seasons.
In 2022, Saint Peter’s was ranked fifteenth in Indianapolis. In Pittsburgh in 2024, Oakland was ranked 14th.
Kentucky hasn’t advanced to the second weekend of the NCAA Tournament since 2019. The Golden Grizzlies upset the third-seeded Wildcats 80-76 on Thursday night in a first-round NCAA Tournament game at PPG Paints Arena in Pittsburgh. UK ends the 2023–24 season with an overall record of 23–10 and many unanswered questions for a campaign that harbored Final Four and, at times, national championship hopes.
Here is what Calipari had to say following his Cats’ humiliating early March Madness exit.
Opening Remark: First of all, let me say that Oakland put on a tremendous game. They made some amazing photos. We were essentially a late one in a box. You know, I’ve seen the highs and lows in this sport, but this one truly hurts for them because in prior years, your team may have reached its peak and then lost a game, and you’re like, wow.
I genuinely thought that this team was capable of much more, and our supporters were present once more. Simply said, I’m sorry for our fans. Though it’s difficult, I wish we had played a little bit better.
