Kentucky Basketball had one last practice in Lexington on Friday afternoon before the team’s departure out of Blue Grass Airport for Saturday’s marquee SEC game at Alabama. If today’s practice went anything like recent day-before-game practices, the Wildcats scrimmaged for at least an hour, something John Calipari never asked his teams to do until this season.
“Now, you understand that’s dangerous,” Calipari explained earlier this week. “I’ve never done it before. This team needs it. You know why? We look out of sync. We’re not smooth. We’ve got to. And if somebody steps on something, we’ll have to deal with it.
