With Kentucky staring at the possibility of its first three-game losing streak since the Billy Gillispie error, John Calipari asked the players for suggestions.
“Sleep on it,” he said. Then if a player has any ideas, come to the office.
The ideas Calipari offered at Monday’s news conference, involved more toughness and fewer turnovers.
Calipari said he reviewed the 17 turnovers in Saturday’s loss to Kansas. That was a season high, but worse it led to 21 transition points for the Jayhawks. In the last four games, UK opponents have averaged 20.3 points off turnovers.
“Can’t win” with that kind of giveaway, Calipari said.
