John Calipari painted a challenging, if not bleak, picture of what his Kentucky team faces at Louisville on Saturday. If (when?) adversity hits, UK should not seek reassurance from a friendly face.
“Terrific team,” he said of Louisville on Friday. “On the road. Everybody against us. Let’s go see where we are.”
After noting that the last ranked opponent to play at U of L — then-No. 9 Michigan State — lost, Calipari added, “So we know how good they are.” And in case reporters forgot, the UK coach reminded listeners that Louisville beat Seton Hall (70-65) which beat Kentucky a week later.
