John Calipari loved what he got out of his team in last night’s season opener, a stress-free win over nearby Morehead State, a game in which everyone in a Kentucky uniform played really well.
“We looked like an organized basketball team,” he said afterward. “Can you imagine? It’s been 40 days. 30 practices in 42 days, and this is what we look like, so I’m happy.”
With little to criticize from his team’s effort and performance, Calipari turned on himself in his postgame comments to say he did Kentucky a disservice by loading the schedule in the non-conference.
