Tuesday was nothing short of a shocking loss for the Kentucky Wildcats.
It wasn’t that Kentucky lost that wa a surprise, as the Wildcats were only favored by two points at game time. The shock was how poorly Kentucky played against a Duke team that looked like the best team in college basketball.
But even the best teams don’t embarrass ranked teams the way Duke did Tuesday, so some of that 34-point loss has to be on the shoulders of Kentucky.
John Calipari wants all of that blame to be placed on him. It was clear from the jump that his team wasn’t ready for the big stage, so of course, the head coach is going to fall on the sword.
