It's gonna take  4 wins  to get them into the Big Dance.  How many will the Cats win in Nashville?

My guess is two.

Is your list of basketball coaches who could do as well or better than John Calipari with the same level of talent growing any longer yet?

I plan to wait until I see if next year's team takes a knee or boycotts the national anthem before I resume watching UK basketball games. Coach Calipari and the team should apologize to UK fans for this season.

Two wins will be a challenge. They will get Alabama if they win their first game against Mississippi State. 

I'm giving Cal a mulligan for this year. Let's see what happens next year. Will it be a return to  25+ wins  or will we see something more on par with this season? I'm thinking most likely this season will be more of an anomaly and not the start of a trend. Like most fans, I'm not judging him on knees and national anthems but on wins and titles.

Players who are recruited to play basketball for a year at UK should focus on honing their basketball skills. This team lacked focus and their decision to kneel for the national anthem showed a lack of character that has carried over to their play on the court.

This team has the athletic talent to play with anybody in the country and they were competitive in nearly all of their losses. A little more focus, a little more effort, and a little less selfishness would have gone a long way. Calipari has done a horrible job this season. It is hard to imagine any coach taking this team and doing much worse.
