Wordplay: Calipari asks Cats to capture their goals for 2019 in one word

In an attempt to prevent what golfers call paralysis by analysis, John Calipari said he suggests books for his Kentucky players to read.

“You’ve got to stay away from it,” he said of the attention the Big Blue Nation seemingly gives every dribble. “You can’t listen to that. You stay in the moment. Try to get better every day. Do something away from the court.”

The latest book recommended by Calipari is entitled “Life Word: Discover Your One Word to Leave a Legacy.” He asked each UK player to pick a word that can serve as a label for 2019.
