Go no further than chief UK apologist Matt Jones for at least as close as one can get to an official explanation for UK's demise ........... specifically its Calipari. I can only listen to so much of Jones, so perhaps I needed to stay tuned for even more of his pontification in order to hear him state unequivocally that Calipari must be replaced; however the word "unacceptable" was repeatedly assigned to his performance.
Jones stopped one of his co-hosts from dropping a rumor on his show, as to "why next year will NOT be any better", but I suspect some of the optimism of next year may not be there after all ................. Jones knew what his co-host was going to report, so his interruption must have some validity, as well as some unwelcomed news.
For those wondering why a UL fan like myself has concern with anything related to UK; simple, they remain our bitter in-state rival and most of our fanbase will always judge ourselves in relation to UK. I wish it were not the case, but every UL fan that I have seen in the last 48 hours had a smile on their face, and comment about how our missing the tournament is a little easier to accept given UK being upset once again.
