John Calipari's University of Kentucky squad was two games away from finishing with the first perfect college basketball campaign since the 1975-76 Indiana Hoosiers, but a 71-64 loss to Wisconsin in the Final Four dashed the superpower's hopes.
However, months after the crippling loss that sent Kentucky to 38-1 on the season, Calipari discussed how the loss served as a therapeutic release for some of his players, according to Lisa Brown on Twitter (h/t Jason McIntyre of the Big Lead):
“When we lost to Wisconsin, some guys were relieved in that locker room," Calipari said.
