No. 2 Kentucky lost 85–79 to No. 15 Saint Peter’s in round one of the NCAA tournament on Thursday.
The game went into overtime before the Wildcats ultimately lost in the biggest upset of the tournament so far this year.
Fans immediately took to Twitter following the game to criticize coach John Calipari’s leadership this season and during the game. “Fire John Calipari” was trending on Twitter.
Fans specifically criticized how Calipari tends to recruit really good players, such as this year’s SEC Player of the Year Oscar Tshiebwe—a transfer from West Virginia—but the players don’t finish with strong results on the collegiate level.
