John Calipari’s Message as the Team Heads to Columbia

The Kentucky Wildcats had their final practice of Camp Cal this afternoon as classes resume when the Wildcats return from their road trip.

Calipari says the team had 2-3 sessions a day during Camp Cal, which begins when the players return from Christmas up until the first day of the spring semester.

The extra practices explains the recent improvement and success we have been seeing on the floor.

Next up for Kentucky is a trip to South Carolina for a 6:30 p.m. ET. tip-off on Wednesday. Coverage will air on the SEC Network.

Below is what Calipari had to say before the team heads to Columbia.

Finished camp today! Went twice yesterday & then watched the football national championship, so we were together three times yesterday. The only days we had off during camp were our mandatory off days. Short of that, since we came back for Christmas, we had 2-3 sessions every day

Now getting ready to head to South Carolina. When we get back, we’re back in class and back to a normal schedule. Hopefully we’ve set a foundation that will help us grow from this point because we are a ways away from being the team we need to be to have a special season.

Two tough road games ahead of us. The question we have to keep asking ourselves is, are we getting better? That thought process goes beyond all scores. We could win and step back and we could lose and step forward. For us, to be the team we want to be, it's are we getting better.
