Early losses and scares of the John Calipari Era

Last night’s loss to Evansville is the most embarrassing of the John Calipari Era, but it’s not the only time the Cats have looked like crap early on in the season. In an attempt to cheer myself up, I opened up the archives to look back at all of the November and December losses and scares from the past decade. While most teams avoided upsets like last night’s, a few of them did not, and even Calipari’s best squads looked vulnerable at times.

Nov. 16, 2009: No. 4 Kentucky 72, Miami (Ohio) 70

Kentucky needed a last-second shot by John Wall to avoid being upset in only their second game of the season.
