John Calipari salutes Kentucky's female student-athletes

Wednesday was National Girls and Women in Sports Day, and to celebrate that and the 50th anniversary of Title IX, the University of Kentucky’s female student-athletes took the floor at Rupp Arena during Wednesday’s game vs. Vanderbilt. John Calipari started his press conference today by paying tribute to all the women accomplishing big things in Kentucky blue and white.

“Before I get started, I just saw the other day it was National Girls and Women in Sports Day, and, you know, the 50th anniversary of Title IX. So, I’m going to do some stuff and I’m going to beg your forgiveness, but we’ve got to talk about this campus and then some other things about women and what has happened for them here.
