After losing another NCAA men’s tournament game to a mid-major with a double-digit seed, Kentucky coach John Calipari’s future with the programme seems doubtful. Since UK’s season-ending 80-76 loss to Oakland, a 14-seed from the Horizon League, athletics director Mitch Barnhart has not provided any clarity on Calipari’s position.
Nonetheless, many in Kentucky’s devoted fan base are ready to part ways with Calipari, who recently completed his 15th season on the job. The Wildcats’ third consecutive March Madness trip ended in the opening weekend, following a first-round loss to 15th-seeded Saint Peter’s in 2022 and a second-round loss to Kansas State the previous season.
