John Calipari & Wildcats recap Elite Eight loss

The Kentucky Wildcats’ quest for a ninth national championship has come to an end.

Sunday, the Auburn Tigers clinched their first ever final four berth with a 77-71 overtime win over Kentucky.

Auburn got their revenge over Kentucky in a big way after the Cats won both regular season matches between the two schools.

Despite the loss, Kentucky got a strong effort from the banged-up PJ Washington, who scored 28 points and grabbed 13 rebounds.

For Auburn, the backcourt combination of Jared Harper and Bryce Brown was too much for Kentucky to contain.
