On Tuesday, myself and other media members went over to Joe Craft center for another Kentucky Basketball Media Day. We got to talk with John Calipari and every player on a team that returns quite a few veterans.
We had some interesting quotes like Oscar saying, “I want to come back here after basketball and buy a farm, so save one for me,” as well as players talking about the trip to Pikeville.
Listen Below to multiple player interviews.

After media members talked with players, Coach Calipari spoke with media. The most memorable moment of the whole was when Cal talked about the coal miner from Eastern Kentucky who came straight from work to the Blue-White Game with his family.
