INDIANAPOLIS (AP) – John Calipari has endeared himself to Big Blue Nation because he does what Wildcat fans demand – win.
He’s delivered a championship, competes annually for national titles. Now he can immortalize himself in the eyes of Kentucky’s rabid fans by giving them something they’ve never had – an undefeated national championship.
And you can bet your last Bluegrass dollar that Indianapolis will be overwhelmingly blue with throngs flocking to see firsthand if their unbeaten Wildcats can get two more wins at the Final Four.
Then again, they always are.
“Ever since we’ve been going to games we’ve hoped for a season like this, unbeaten and perfect,” said Roy Holsclaw, 81, who attended Kentucky’s 1958 title-clinching game with his wife Katherine and has been a season ticket holder since 1959.
