John Calipari is in his ninth season as the head basketball coach at the University of Kentucky, and — for the first time during that tenure — his Wildcats have lost three consecutive games.
UK fell at Texas A&M on Saturday night, a defeat that followed Tuesday night’s home loss to Tennessee and a loss at Missouri last weekend. Such a skid is rare for the Wildcats’ program.
How rare?
It happened three different times in Billy Gillispie’s two tumultuous seasons as UK’s head coach, but only four times in the 17 seasons before that and only seven times from 1979 to 2007.
