Kentucky’s preparation involves next opponent, but also long-range goals | Lexington Herald Leader

Kentucky plays at snowy, icy Vanderbilt on Saturday. But at least part of the preparation was with warm and inviting San Antonio in mind.

Kentucky Coach John Calipari explained Friday. The context was an explanation of why UK continues to experiment with different approaches even though the freshmen-dependent team might be better off trying to master fewer tasks.

“The problem is we have a bigger picture here,” Calipari said. It’s not just try to play the next games. It’s to try to grow. It’s to try to get better. It’s trying to be one of those teams by the end of the year.
