Good morning BBN.
Kentucky went one and completed within the SEC Match…once more. That brings John Calipari to a 1-4 report in such video games since 2021, the lone win being over a coach who was simply fired after failing to crack 10 wins for the second time throughout that span. It’s additionally the worst stretch of convention match ends in program historical past.
After which there’s Kentucky’s 1-2 report within the NCAA Match within the span, making it arduous to really feel about this staff making it even previous the Candy 16 after they have the expertise to win all of it.
It is arduous in charge the gamers for not matching the depth of Texas A&M when John Calipari acts just like the SEC Match doesn’t matter. Profitable a number of video games in it could not at all times assist his seeding, however it does are likely to bode nicely for a deep NCAA Match. Calipari’s Kentucky groups have by no means made a Last 4 in a season they didn’t win at the very least two SEC Match video games.
Oh, and this.
As you prep for an additional nice day of hoops, bear in mind this as each league reaches or performs its semifinal spherical: Because the match expanded in 1985, no nationwide champion did not make it to at the very least the semis of its convention match. For extra pickup traces, comply with me on X.
