Last night was a heartbreaker for the Kentucky Wildcats as they fell to Kansas State in the Sweet Sixteen, 61-58. The loss ends the season and what could’ve been a special run to the Final Four but like always, the Big Blue Nation will pick themselves up and move on with time.

John Calipari had a few thoughts earlier today, taking to Twitter to share them with the fans.

I woke up this morning feeling as sick as I did last night after that game. This is going to hurt for a while for all of us. The players took it as hard as any team I’ve had when it ends.

What they accomplished this year can never be taken away. To play like they played all year – coming together, battling through adversity, continuing to work every day and representing all of us the way they did – is truly amazing.

It’s hard for us to see the forest through the trees right now, but each of these kids gave everything they had, including in a game last night when we weren’t playing at our best. And we still had a chance to win!

As a coach and as a fan, all you can ask is that they give their very best and that they do it as a team. This team tried to do that all year. Losing stinks, but I’m proud of each and every one of them.
