HC gave a brief post-game response as 'Fire John Calipari' goes trending on social media

After the Wildcats' loss to the Tigers, coach Calipari talked to the media. Calipari answered only two questions from reporters before excusing himself to board the bus.

He said that the team had fought hard to give themselves a chance to win, but losing the 50/50 balls cost them the game.

"It's all we talk about, 50/50 balls," Calipari said.

Kentucky had a 15-point lead in the second half but ended up losing the game.

“Matter of fact, we may have been up 15. You can’t win — don’t tell me about your offense,” he added. “If you’re not going to come up with 50/50 balls, you can’t win but I’m going to say this.”

Meanwhile, John Calipari also gave credit to LSU for playing a great game.
