The 22nd-ranked Wildcats (19-8, 7-6 SEC) host surging No. 13 Florida (22-5, 11-2) on Saturday reeling from another tough loss on the road.
Kentucky fell to Arkansas by a point in overtime on Wednesday, a loss that dropped the Wildcats to 1-6 away from Rupp Arena in league play. Calipari says he still likes his team but his players make too many excuses.
He believes Kentucky's problems stem from a lack of maturity and not enough effort in key situations. Calipari pointed to Arkansas' five offensive rebounds in the final moments on Wednesday, second chances they converted into a resume-building win.
