Why do Pearl and Calipari struggle so badly to win any games in the tournament?

It's crazy how badly these two seem to choke every year, no?

Pearl is due to poor guard play. Cal is due to one & dones.

Cal is about to be fired.
Pearl is about to get a raise.
Can you name the real basketball blueblood?

Pearl usually does better than this in tournaments. He seemed to be pretty consistent in getting teams to the second weekend at Tennessee and has been solid at Auburn too.
IMO, Calipari has been too reliant on freshmen who haven't fully adjusted to the longer 3pt line. The high school 3pt line is 19' 9". The college 3pt line is 22' 1.75". That is a significant adjustment.

Let's not forget, Cal won a title, and went to final fours in like 5 of his first 7 years at UK.
With that said, the drought since 2015 is way too much for UK fans to bear, particularly with Cal constantly blaming the woes on youth when that is what we recruits.
As Lynx said, we have had a few veterans, but I don't think we are getting the right veterans it seems, but Jay Wright is correct, you need several veterans to go with the freshman to be successful. We just haven't had the right mix in a while.
I am fine with Cal staying, but I do think he needs to fire Antigua and Coleman and bring back Kenny Payne, and admit to the fan base that what he has been doing has not been working as desired, and he's going to make changes.

They both get out coached and teams are not prepared for tough games

Pearl is a fat, washed-up, loser. Ever since they gave him that huge contract, he hasn't won a NCAAT game.

Pearl has skins on the wall. Cal does too. The rest of the league are small time fruit of the month pan flashes.
