At this exact moment 48 hours ago, Kentucky was leading North Carolina by four at half and finally had some momentum going its way. Two days later, it feels like the wheels are falling spectacularly off the wagon. Not only are the Cats 1-5 for the first time since the 1926-27 season, John Calipari announced this morning that he has asked freshman Cam’Ron Fletcher to step away from the program to “reflect and do some soul searching to get his priorities in order.” Not great, Bob.
We may never know what happened in the locker room after the North Carolina loss, but it must have been bad if not a single active player, including seniors Olivier Sarr and Davion Mintz, was willing to do the postgame Zoom.
