Summary: Year in and year out, John Calipari recruits the best talent in the country for Kentucky basketball. Why is he underperforming with it? On today's episode of Locked On Kentucky, Lance Dawe explains why he believes Calipari is close to failing the Kentucky Wildcats' basketball program despite his recruiting abilities. The offensive and defensive scheme have failed the Wildcats in big games, and the lack of execution and cohesion in Kentucky's two losses to Michigan State and Gonzaga have been full of poor offensive play calling and defensive lapses. What is it going to take for it to change? Will Cal ever change? Despite the beginning of the season being a little disappointing, Kentucky has plenty of time to dig themselves out of the hole they are in. It starts with Oscar Tshiebwe. Tshiebwe's value to the team cannot be understated. If the rotation continues to play as it has, the Wildcats can't win without him in important games. The Governor's cup is tomorrow. Louisville comes into the contest ranked (?)... but Kentucky is favored. If the talent takes over and Mark Stoops and Rich Scangarello don't botch it, the Wildcats should win.
