If you thought Kentucky had a tough week, try being Ole Miss. The Rebel Black Bear Landsharks lost back-to-back games on the final possession, with Tennessee’s Grant Williams scoring the game-winning bucket on Wednesday and Arkansas’ Jalen Harris hitting one on Saturday. On today’s SEC Teleconference, John Calipari said he’s expecting both Ole Miss and Florida to be “desperate” when they face Kentucky this week.
“Two tough games,” Cal said. “Both desperate teams trying to get that double bye [in the SEC Tournament]. They’re gonna be two wars.”
When asked what he would tell his team after heartbreaking losses like Ole Miss just had, Cal harkened back to earlier this season when he told his players to act as though they had beaten Seton Hall.
