When Kentucky free throws started clanging off rims last Thursday in what became UK's shocking NCAA Tournament loss to No. 15 seed Saint Peter's, Wildcats backers must have felt trapped in a hoops version of the movie "Groundhog Day."

It's hard to imagine any program — or any program's fans — that has ever paid a higher NCAA tourney price for errant accuracy from the foul line than UK has in the John Calipari coaching era.
