Unexpected — or, at the very least, difficult-to-comprehend — postseason departures from the UK basketball team have become a regular occurrence.
The Wildcats have had plenty of no-brainer early entrants into the NBA Draft under John Calipari, and they’ll likely have many more in the near future.

That’s, obviously, not the case.
