It began when Mack asked, “Where is the equity of Kentucky coming here in front of no fans and after that having to go back to Rupp Arena in front of 21,000 fans?”
Now Mack is firing back and the competition is officially back on.
When Chris Mack went on a podcast and grumbled about Louisville having to play Kentucky without fans in 2020, John Calipari saw an opening to be the much better man. Cal quickly took the side of the competition, leaving Mack to appear afraid and weak of playing the video game.
Chris Mack think its unreasonable to play UK in basketball in 2020
Once Calipari got word of Macks remarks, he rapidly stepped forward to state Kentucky anticipates to play Louisville as planned.
John Calipari responds to Chris Mack: “We are prepared to come to Louisville to play this season”
.
” As for the UK series, heres the thing: I want to do whats most practical for John and his program,” Mack states in the video. “Never mind the truth that we had a December 12 equally concurred upon date to play the video game. And never ever mind that they backed out of the 12th due to the fact that they were returning from London December 6th after playing Michigan. Can we play that video game on the 12th?”.
Coach Cal is not going to like this. Not one bit.
He goes on.
Mack likewise notes Mark Stoops football program moved the date of its trip to Louisville from 2020 to 2021 (he failed to mention it was a league choice, not UKs). “If you can do it in football,” Mack states, “seems you can do it in basketball.”.
” As for the UK series, heres the important things: I want to do whats most convenient for John and his program,” Mack states in the video. “Never mind the reality that we had a December 12 mutually agreed upon date to play the video game. Due to the fact that they were returning from London December 6th after playing Michigan, and never mind that they backed out of the 12th. They believed it was too close to the 12th. Never ever mind the reality that December 6th game got canceled, no journey to London. Can we play that video game on the 12th?”.
Mack has actually now taken things to another level by releasing a video saying he will do “whats most hassle-free for John and his program,” a backhanded arrangement to use Caliparis time. He notes a number of circumstances of Louisville working around Cal in the past:.
” Never mind the truth that they scheduled Notre Dame in lieu of playing us on the equally concurred upon date of December 12th. Never mind the fact they called ESPN and attempted to alter one of our ACC video games without our knowledge or authorization.”.
