Eight years have passed since John Calipari made the infamous “tweak” that changed the way Andrew Harrison captained Kentucky’s offense, and in turn, changed the course of the 2013-14 season. In February of that year, Calipari’s team of star freshmen were struggling late in their only season together until Calipari told Harrison to stop shooting and start passing. Weeks later, Kentucky played for a national championship as an 8-seed.
Now with a completely different team, one with experience but injury concerns, Calipari could be channeling the tweak magic again. On Friday, he shot down a question about the team peaking too early and included two tweaks in his explanation of what may be ahead behind the scenes.
