Q. How alarming, if at all, is it to have a late game performance like this, this close to post-season?
JOHN CALIPARI: Any time you’re up 17 and there’s whatever it was left, the game got physical and we couldn’t compete. It just got physical. We tried different ways to try to score and we just, we had nothing. Couldn’t throw it to the post. Tried to open up the court, wasn’t getting by people.
But give credit to Tennessee. They could have gone away down 17, but that’s Rick Barnes, I mean, he’s a terrific coach.
