Kentucky, Louisville each suffer historic losses in rough Saturday showing

For the first time since he arrived in Lexington, John Calipari and Kentucky have now lost five straight games.

No. 22 North Carolina beat the Wildcats 75-63 on Saturday afternoon at Quicken Loans Arena, which drops them to a measly 1-5 start — the programs worst start since the 1926-27 season, per ESPN.

“I thought before the game we were going to get this game,” Calipari said, via the Lexington Herald Leader. “We had our chances. Let go of the rope … I’m so disappointed, especially the last 10 minutes of the game.”

Kentucky actually led throughout most of the contest on Saturday, too.
