Was listening to my second favorite sports pod as they talked about Kentucky’s recent postseason woes under Cal.
2021 they go 9-16. Incredibly talented teams to only peak at two Elite 8’s over nine years. They’re shooting lights out but have three 7 footers yet don’t guard anyone. First round loss in SECT this year and an earlier noncon loss to NC Wilmington. Ky’s SEC & NCAA tourney records over the past three years is 2-6.
Of course Cal’s pretty much on a lifetime contract and Kentucky’s buyout reportedly would be $30 million if they ever did decide enough was enough. Still, I’ve got a couple extended family who went to UK and both tell me there is Cal fatigue throughout the fanbase.
