Kentucky to visit White House
LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) – Kentucky coach John Calipari and the national champion Wildcats will visit President Barack Obama and the White House on Friday to celebrate the school’s eighth title.
Calipari says the first thing the players said in the moments after beating Kansas 67-59 last month was that they were headed to the White House.
