The Cats beat the Pioneers 94-66 tonight, but that’s not exactly what happened.
Let me be clear: it’s not worth getting worked up about an exhibition game, especially one your team wins by 28 points. However, there’s no denying the Cats looked a step slow, a bit sloppy, and a far cry from the team we came to expect after the Bahamas trip and two months of Swaggy Calipari quotes. Let me be clear again: it’s fine. In fact, it’s probably a good thing. If there’s one thing this game gave John Calipari, it was an arsenal of teachable moments.
