Kentucky Wildcats basketball head coach John Calipari has received a fair share of criticism over the last couple of days following his team’s first round exit from the NCAA Tournament.
After leading Kentucky to four Final Four appearances in his first six years, Calipari is 0-for his last six years (tournament was canceled in 2020). Despite having the likely Naismith Player of the Year and a team oddsmakers believed had the second-best odds of cutting down the nets, Kentucky found themselves as the first “major” upset of March Madness.
On Saturday afternoon, Calipari “shouldered” the blame in a statement he released via Twitter.
