John Calipari invited members of the media to hang out at his house during the NCAA Selection Show last night.
The team arrived from St. Louis during the Selection Show and after their place in the NCAA Tournament had already been revealed, but the players and coaches (and even the media) were treated to an incredible meal.
Calipari and select players spoke to the media.
Here are some pictures and a few notes from inside Coach Cal’s home:
Alan Cutler had on his autographed John Calipari running shoes. We are truly going to miss Cutler when he retires in 54 days:
Coach Cal and Ellen have cute dogs:
As you might expect, there’s UK stuff everywhere:
Members of the media surrounded the television as the Selection Show tipped off:
Random pics of Cal’s home:
We watched the end of ‘Get Hard’ on Cal’s television (the joys of having the Selection Show on TBS):
Brad Calipari was thrilled to be home:
The players were generally a pretty quiet group, but there were plenty of smiles and happy faces after cutting down the nets in St. Louis:
The players earned awesome hats in St. Louis:
The food was incredible; shout out to Aqua Sushi Bar and Bluegrass Hospitality Group:
Coach Cal is in there somewhere:
Players were eating in the living room; Calipari warned them to not drop anything on his carpet…then decided to send them to the basement to finish up:
Calipari was hungry after speaking to the media:
They invited the media to grab a plate, as well (since they twisted my arm, you know):
Wenyen Gabriel was all smiles after shooting the lights out in St. Louis:
There was a gathering of UK fans by the team bus when players walked out of Calipari’s home:
