February 04, 2021Kentucky falls to 5-11, Calipari hits rock bottom
KSR’s Jack Pilgrim is joined by Shawn Smith of Go Big Blue Country for episode 81 of the Sources Say Podcast to break down Kentucky’s loss at Missouri, the team's 5-11 start to the season, postseason hopes vanishing and potential long-term issues within the program, among other topics.

Is the transfer portal the only answer to round out the upcoming roster?
Kentucky cannot afford to lose anyone outside of BJ Boston, Terrence Clarke and Isaiah Jackson to the draft, nor can they lose players to the portal
