John Calipari found a time machine and went back to some old-school tactics to build his current Kentucky team. That roster construction was on full display in the first game of the Bahamas tour.
In a 108-56 blowout win over the Dominican Republic, Kentucky flashed all of its length and explosive athleticism to overwhelm a team full of grown men. Calipari isn’t going with small ball or pace and space, but the Cats are long and have elite defensive potential.
That was all on display to start the preseason international run as we could have a vintage Calipari team that smothers teams on the defensive end and relies on supreme athleticism to get buckets on offense.
