It seemed that John Calipari’s chronic case of NCAA-induced paranoia resurfaced last weekend as he acknowledged the painful defeat his Kentucky team inflicted on good buddy Bob Huggins.
“I am rooting for West Virginia, and I always do,” Calipari said. “He is rooting for Kentucky. We’re not going to play (again).”
With that, Calipari paused, then added, “Well, we will play each other in the NCAA Tournament. No question they’ll put us in the same bracket because they don’t want the two of us to advance. So we’ll play each other. But hopefully it’s (in the) later rounds.
