John Calipari’s sad appearance after fifth straight Kentucky loss became an instant meme

Following Kentucky’s fifth straight loss, John Calipari’s dejected press appearance became an instant meme.

The University of Kentucky is off to its worst start under John Calipari, and arguably its worst start since … honestly I don’t know when. The Wildcats are 1-5, something the team has only done four times in its history, and not since 1926. Kentucky has lost five straight. Things are bad right now.

The most recent loss came on Saturday to UNC, a game that was pretty interesting at first — UK led by four at the half — before Kentucky’s lack of discipline and failure to make plays doomed them. Four UK players fouled out. The game ended with one Kentucky player, Terrence Clarke, leaving the court before the game ended.

Again, things are bad right now. And that all led to this appearance by Coach Calipari at the end of the game.

The harsh lighting and dejected look of a man whose team is 1-5 was not only the perfect representation of how Kentucky fans feel right now, but also how just about everyone feels having gone through 2020.
