Classes for University of Kentucky students will not resume until next Monday, March 18. Throughout the next week, campus will feel a bit deserted, with the majority of students heading home or, if they’re lucky, heading somewhere warm. But, in this regard, the Kentucky basketball team can’t be considered “lucky,” because they’ve chosen to stay in Lexington to get to work.
Following Saturday’s win over Florida, Calipari told media members he planned to give his players the next few days off, saying his staff considered giving the team Saturday, Sunday and Monday off to go home, like they do at Christmas.
