WATCH: Calipari booed as he takes the court for practice in Memphis
Everyone's been wondering what Memphis fans' reaction would be to John Calipari returning to Memphis, and if today's open practice is any indication, some of them have been waiting for this moment. We were seated in front of a very passionate group of Memphis fans, who booed Cal lustily both when Kentucky took the court and when Calipari came out a few minutes later:

While eating lunch at Huey's, I asked our server about Calipari coming back to town and he said he anticipated a rough reception because Memphis fans "know it will never be as good as when he was here." Calipari didn't seem bothered by the boos; in fact, he had a smile on his face the entire time he was on the court. Drew will be by in a bit with more of his comments from today's press conference.Boos for Calipari as Kentucky takes the court pic.twitter.com/ncpmOWaB91
