John Calipari ejected early in Kentucky Wildcats-South Carolina Gamecocks game

Kentucky Wildcats coach John Calipari was hit with two technical fouls and ejected with 17:46 remaining in the first half of Saturday's game against South Carolina Gamecocks.

With Kentucky leading 5-2, Calipari argued with officials after South Carolina's Mindaugas Kacinas was called for a foul after bowling over the Wildcats' Jamal Murray while contesting for a rebound.

After receiving a technical, Calipari walked toward the officials at midcourt and continued arguing vehemently, receiving a second technical. Murray, Isaiah Briscoe and Marcus Lee had to hold Calipari back as he continued to argue.
