Fans rolled their eyes when John Calipari set a goal of scoring 80 points per game this season following Kentucky‘s 56-point performance to open the exhibition slate vs. Missouri Western. Only one of his teams during his time in Lexington hit that mark, with the 2016-17 squad led by De’Aaron Fox, Malik Monk and Bam Adebayo scoring 84.9 per contest.

“We’ve got to be a team that scores 80 points a game,” Calipari said on The Alan Cutler Show.
