Kentucky’s game against South Carolina has taken a bit of a turn.

The Wildcats trailed the Gamecocks, 42-32, at halftime. Kentucky is looking to avoid its 1st loss at Rupp Arena this season. Meanwhile, South Carolina is coming off of a blowout loss to Tennessee on Saturday that saw it score 42 points all game.

Fans have been vocal in their criticism of John Calipari throughout the year as the team has been far below championship standards. The scene at Rupp showed a number of empty seats shortly before tipoff despite it being nationally televised on ESPN2.

One fan that did show up won’t be watching the rest of the game from his seat as he’s been ejected from the game for holding up a sign that read “Please Go To Texas” aimed toward John Calipari.

Of course, the Texas job is open following Chris Beard’s firing after his December arrest on domestic violence charges. It’s a post that will draw plenty of interest, and at the rate this season has gone for the Wildcats, there will be a number of fans glad to see Calipari gone, whether he’s fired or decides to take the job in Austin.
