That, too. It should have been a lot more comfortable than it turned out to be, and Abmas and Disu will have to play a lot better for them to beat Tennessee or Saint Peters on Saturday.
Kentucky trailing Oakland late.
Refs absolutely gifted them a possession.
No call on an over the back then a terrible foul call when the Oakland defender stole the ball.
Kentucky is such a lazy team. They deserve to go home for playing this way in the NCAA tournament.

Kentucky looked so bad down the stretch.
Like they didn’t realize this was a tournament game.

The play where Kentucky had the ball down two and Reeves passes the ball across the three point line and his teammate doesn’t aggressively come to meet the ball leading to an Oakland fast break said it all for me. Oakland wanted it so much more.
Anyways, it never hurts my feelings to see Calipari lose.

Gonzaga, as expected, advances to the Thriving 32.
Yes.
Frankly Oakland did their part to leave the door open.
But Kentucky kept saying no thanks.
Oh well, better go buy a fresh set of players.
Agreed. Calipari will buy a new set of shiny toys, but until he figures how to have them play as a connected team, this will keep happening.
Cal has coached his last game at Kentucky. One NCAA tourney win in four years + being 1 and done in the SEC tourney this year - the fan base has their pitchforks and torches out ready to revolt.

Problem is his buyout. It costs Kentucky $33.375M to get rid of him.
“That’s it?”

What could possibly go wrong with putting the slimiest college basketball coach ever in charge of your athletics department?
