PTI defends John Calipari, says he should leave Kentucky

Kentucky was the talk of college basketball yesterday following the embarrassing loss to South Carolina, with national pundits from far and wide weighing in on the Wildcats’ struggles. The story led off ESPN’s Pardon the Interruption, and both Tony Kornheiser and Micheal Wilbon blasted Kentucky fans for their treatment of John Calipari, specifically, the smattering of boos he received on Tuesday night and the “Please Go To Texas” sign a fan held up behind the bench before being ejected. For that, both hosts believe Calipari should leave Kentucky and set up shop elsewhere; in fact, Wilbon said he should give the BBN double-birds as he leaves Rupp Arena.
