Jay Williams speaks about John Calipari’s comment on the SEC Tournament

Former Duke player Jay Williams hit out at John Calipari after his comments on the importance of the conference tournament. During the Wofford vs. Furman SoCon Championship game on Monday, he labeled Calipari’s comments as "absurd."

"I know that John Calipari says that he could care less about winning the SEC Tournament,” Williams said. ”But we are talking about arguably the greatest single-season conference of all time. So, I think that’s absurd.”

Jay Williams said that every team desires to win every game regardless of the competition. And he said that such high-caliber games could be good for preparation for March Madness.

“You can make a case that the semifinals of the SEC Tournament could be more exciting to watch than the Final Four," Williams said. "They could (both) be in the Final Four.”

Johns Calipari won six SEC tournaments with the Kentucky Wildcats.
