Kentucky has continued to trend downward since John Calipari got lifetime contract
Jordan Prather-USA TODAY Sports It’s bad. Ever since the 2020-21 season, the Kentucky Basketball program hasn’t been the same. Many thought that the disastrous 9-16 years was just due to injuries and COVID-19 limiting the development of a brand-new Kentucky that was largely made up of freshmen who didn’t have a real offseason to prepare.
