Calipari to his players: “You have to hit adversity”

But today he stressed the importance of adversity, and how Sacha Killeya-Jones is the perfect example of it.

“I told all of the kids yesterday, you have to hit adversity,” Calipari said today. “You have to have great doubts in your mind. You have to be wired in a way that, that is fuel. That moves you to another point.

“Last year, what Sacha went through has prepared him to have success this year. The adversity, fighting it. If you’re trying to do something and it’s not working and you continue to try to do something, it’s not going to work.
