Kentucky's High Expectations and NCAA Tournament Exit: What Went Wrong?
TL;DR
Kentucky's loss to Kansas State in the NCAA Tournament has led to criticism from national media, with Paul Finebaum calling the program "irrelevant" and a "failure," CBS Sports giving them an almost failing grade, and Jay Bilas suggesting that John Calipari's focus on the transfer portal may have hurt the team's talent level. Despite having the No. 1 recruiting class coming in next year, Kentucky's Sweet 16 drought will extend to three years, the longest of the Calipari era.
