Earlier today, a story in USA Today featured some interesting quotes from Kentucky head coach John Calipari. Speaking at a coaching clinic over the weekend, Calipari explained why he stuck with the Harrison twins, more experienced sophomores, rather than turn to freshmen Tyler Ulis and Devin Booker when Kentucky sputtered in the final minutes of the Final Four loss to Wisconsin.

“Now you may say, ‘Why didn’t you have Tyler and Devin in at the end of the Wisconsin game? You probably would have won,’ ’’ Calipari said during his hour-long talk.
