That conversation? On a conference call of SEC coaches, John Calipari was once again asked about the possibility of Kentucky playing former rival Indiana on the basketball court. And he once again shot it down, re-hashing the same explanation he has for years.
As Calipari explained, after the court-storming that occurred following Indiana’s win at Assembly Hall during the 2011-2012 season, Calipari vowed to never play in that arena again. Instead, years ago he proposed a two-game series to be played on a neutral court, at the new Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis. Presumably tickets would be split 50/50 down the middle, with half the fans wearing Kentucky blue and the other half Indiana red.
