In the Kentucky Wildcat’s shocking upset at the hands of the South Carolina Gamecocks on Saturday night, probably the worst moment was when head coach John Calipari was run from the game by the officials after arguing a call with about 10 minutes to go in the second half.
Well, following the game, Calipari took to his twitter account to address his ejection.
I wish I didn't get thrown out of the game so that I could fight with our team.

After expressing the remorse over his ejection, Calipari then went on to explain how crucial it is that his team picks it all back up as the season comes to a close.
We have a short turnaround to prepare for Alabama so we have to get back in the gym Sunday and start working on getting better.

Proud of the guys for not giving up but we all have to figure out what do we each have to do to get this team right.

We have to continue to believe in ourselves and each other and I know our fans are fighting with us.

No doubt, this loss tonight to South Carolina was crushing. Things do need to change for this team, and quickly, or Kentucky’s stay in the NCAA Tournament will be short-lived.
