FOUND: Dick vitale defends john calipari amid kentucky s struggles - What They Never Told You

John Calipari Cal Vitale Kentucky Wildcats ESPN NCAA

Kentucky basketball has certainly had its highs and lows during John Calipari’s tenure leading the program, and it seems to be hitting a nadir in 2022–23. 

The Wildcats are 10–6 on the season, falling to 1–3 in SEC play after a 71–68 loss to a middling South Carolina team. That came after a beatdown at the hands of Alabama over the weekend, 78–52.

With a rocky start to the 2022–23 season underway, calls for Kentucky to find a way to move on from Calipari have intensified. ESPN’s Dick Vitale caught wind of them but took to Twitter to come to Calipari’s defense on Wednesday, a day after the South Carolina loss.
