Watch UK basketball coach John Calipari's post-Utah news conference Jon Hale, Louisville Courier Journal
LEXINGTON, Ky. – As Kentucky honored its 1993 Final Four team at halftime of Saturday's win over Utah, two of the most important figures from that squad were absent.
Leading scorer Jamal Mashburn was unable to attend the reunion. Neither was coach Rick Pitino, who tweeted earlier in the day a congratulatory message to his former players.
“Congrats 93 UK team!” Pitino tweeted. “Proud of you guys and love the hell out of you. Thx Cal for reaching out.
