BOISE, Idaho — John Calipari exaggerates every now and then.
The Kentucky basketball coach stretches numbers for the sake of a good story. But he's not kidding when he says Davidson, the Wildcats' NCAA Tournament Round of 64 opponent, can hit enough 3-pointers to beat Kentucky Thursday.
Calipari "said in a game this year they've made 50 or some crazy number," said Kentucky freshman Shai Gilegeous-Alexander.
