Kentucky coach John Calipari and players Hamidou Diallo, Wenyen Gabriel and Shai Gilgeous-Alexander talked about maturity and their NCAA Tournament win over Buffalo in Boise.
BOISE, Idaho — John Calipari maintained his conspiracy theory last week when he said the NCAA selection committee would never "make it easy for" Kentucky basketball.
But many of the teams potentially in the Wildcats' South region path — Atlantic Coast Conference champion Virginia, Southeastern Conference co-champion Tennessee and Pac-12 champion Arizona — didn't survive the tournament's first weekend.
For that, Calipari gloated.
"I betcha that committee is mad right now," he said.
