Team was way overrated. Can't expect to win championships with freshman and sophomores every year.

How are you overrated when you go 38-1 and lose in the final 4 to a #1 seed?

You saw how awful the SEC was in the tournament.
The reality is, Kentucky doesn't go undefeated in the Big 12, Big 10, or Big East even. I remember one game in particular, the Texas A&M game, Texas A&M was basically handed the game on a silver platter 10 times and choked all 10 times with unforced errors. Kentucky tried to lose on occasion in the SEC and that conference was so abhorrent, they couldn't do it.

It should be coming close to that time when he will jump ship. They normally find allegations on him about this time at every job he works. NBA will be calling soon.

Decent coach, but not great.
Just very good at giving parents money for players to come play for him for 1 year.

As much as I despise Calipari, I have to agree. He took a team to the Final 4 and ended 38-1. Most programs would kill for that.

guy got into the basketball hall of fame today as well. unreal.
i have this attitude about cal. if they're just going to let you cheat your dick off then run away while the school pays the cost but you get off scott free, then there's not a lot stopping you from cheating your dick off. the scumbag system is to blame, not the scumbag. but to be honored as a hall of fame member with 2 final four runs vacated at two different schools (and we all know there's going to be something coming kentucky's way eventually) is just ridiculous.

Can't stand Cal
Huge proven cheater and still arrogant
But a 38-1 season and going to the final 4 is an amazing feat
Saying something is overrated is a putting a value on it and comparing it to it's "true" value. So in this instance, it's all arbitrary but it's damn near impossible to say Kentucky was overrated this year. If anything, with a team of Freshmen and Sophmores, they overachieved.
The most likely explanation is 1.) people had ridiculous and unrealistic expectations 2.) lost money on the game 3.) don't even really understand what their words mean
Probably all 3

I know you're trying to generate traffic so you can get paid and buy some more hair paint, but I mean if over rated is getting your team to the Final Four four of the six years you've been at the program with a title, I think most people would love to be over rated.
Wisconsin is a damn good team with a damn good coach. There's really no shame losing to them. It's not like they lost to Hampton or Roy Williams.
