John Calipari & players discuss defensive woes and Monmouth

The No. 10 Kentucky Wildcats will put their five-game winning streak on the line when they host the Monmouth Hawks of the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference.

The two teams last met last season at Madison Square Garden last season, where Kentucky won big thanks to a big performance from PJ Washington. Despite Monmouth’s 0-7 record this season, head coach John Calipari does not see them as an easy match-up.

“They have nothing to lose,” Calipari said of a Monmouth team who played a close game with West Virginia just a few weeks ago.
