In a halftime interview with ESPN’s Andy Katz, Kentucky coach John Calipari sounded off in frustration with Duke players who he thought were “flopping.”

With Kentucky trailing 33-31 at the half, Katz asked Calipari how the Wildcats would tighten up the defense to stop post penetration in the second half.
