John Calipari reflects on Bahamas trip, pumps the brakes on growing hype

To say Kentucky has impressed on this Bahamas tour is an understatement.

The Wildcats boosted their record to 3-0 in the exhibition slate with a 100-64 win over Mega Bemax on Saturday. In their wins over the Bahamas National Team, San Lorenzo De Almagro and Mega Bemax, Kentucky has averaged a margin of victory of nearly 28 points. The Wildcats have also scored 80 points or more in all three games.

John Calipari previously said he wouldn’t be surprised if Kentucky went 1-3. They’ve certainly outperformed his expectations, but he’s not getting too excited.

“I love how well we are playing, especially because it’s only August, but I’m not intoxicated by this,” Calipari said in a Facebook post Sunday morning.
