Kentucky Coach John Calipari said Tyler Herro and Keldon Johnson apologized to him in the wake of Saturday’s loss at Tennessee.
“They want to do well,” Calipari said after the pair contributed greatly to Tuesday night’s 80-76 victory at Mississippi. “One apologized to me for (pause), you know, for something that was said.”
That sounded like Herro, who drew Calipari’s ire during a first-half timeout at Tennessee.
