What was each Kentucky team’s defining moment of the Calipari era?

Each year, there was at least one game or moment that defined that season as a whole.

2009-10 – The John Wall Dance

The Kentucky program needed some swagger following the Billy Gillespie days, and John Calipari brought it back by signing the most electric recruit in the nation, John Wall. And boy did he make a grand entrance.

The John Wall Dance at Big Blue Madness told the world that Kentucky was back, and they were going to have fun with it. And that’s exactly what that season was.

Veteran leadership from Patrick Patterson combined with elite newcomers DeMarcus Cousins, Eric Bledsoe, and Wall.
