In an attempt to make sure Kentucky was fresh for postseason play, John Calipari suggested the players go home for a couple days before preparing for this week’s Southeastern Conference Tournament.
The players declined his invitation to take a breather.
During his turn on an SEC coaches’ teleconference Monday, Calipari said this was not cause for concern about UK not being properly rested and ready going forward.
“The whole reason we do what we do and how we do this is to make sure there are fresh legs and fresh minds at the end of the year,” the UK coach said.
