The amazing thing is the first thing that was said when the horn sounded in New Orleans was, “We’re going to the White House!”

The Wildcats defeated the Kansas Jayhawks 67-59 in the National Championship game in early April to earn their eighth overall NCAA title, and their first since 1998. The club finished with a 38-2 overall record, helping Calipari improve his record with Kentucky to 102-14.
Following the team’s victory, the entire starting lineup announced that they will be leaving school to enter the NBA draft.
