Kentucky coach John Calipari is continuing to stay positive during the COVID-19 pandemic that has taken the world by storm.

The UK coach joined Paul Finebaum on the “Paul Finebaum Show” Thursday evening to discuss life without basketball, the pandemic and more.

Calipari told the same stories we’ve all heard the last few weeks but there was one thing he said that we’re all hoping for.

Calipari said he fully expects college basketball to be played in November. While November is seven months away, the current situation in the world is enough to have concerns about the Kentucky basketball season being delayed or possibly canceled if there isn’t a breakthrough or vaccine to prevent COVID-19. However, Calipari is choosing to stay positive and I think it’s what we all should do at the moment.

“It’s so much up in the air but I will say this, I fully expect us to be playing basketball in November, I really do,” Calipari told Finebaum.
