The 'Cats will have a strong presence at All-Star Weekend, John Calipari has a 30-For-30 coming out and more in today's headlines.
It's a good time to be a Wildcat.
The Wildcats are taking over All-Star Weekend, as they have three All-Stars participating in the All-Star game, as well as three guys participating in the Taco Bell Skills Challenge. The players are the same in both fields: John Wall, DeMarcus Cousins and Anthony Davis.
On top of featuring three players in the All-Star events, John Calipari has his own ESPN 30-For-30 film coming out soon. The film, titled 'One and Not Done,' will look at John Calipari's entire career. The good, the bad, the ugly, and everything else. It'll release on April 13th.
As long as Kentucky succeeds on the court, it's going to be a great few months for the Wildcats.
