Kentucky breaks week-old record for most points scored under Calipari

No. 1 Kentucky seems to be one-upping itself these days.

On the same day that Wildcats head coach John Calipari said he would like to see his team play a closely contested game, his players responded with a 115-69 shellacking of Arizona State.

The 115-point performance is the most points that Kentucky has scored with Calipari behind the bench since ... last week, when the Wildcats trounced UT-Martin by a score of 111-76.
