UK assistant Kenny Payne addresses reports tying him to Louisville job Jon Hale/Courier Journal
LEXINGTON, Ky. – It should be no surprise that John Calipari’s youngest Kentucky team yet has a problem closing out games.
Despite leading by five with less than a minute to play against Texas A&M, Kentucky was a foul call away from blowing that lead in what ended as a 1-point win. At Vanderbilt, UK led by eight with 1:17 remaining, but a turnover from one freshman was compounded by another fouling a 3-point shooter with 29 seconds remaining.
