The players and Calipari’s haven’t stayed quite in this dark hour and most have gone to twitter to show BBN appreciation. EJ Floreal even apologized to fans, even though there is no apology needed.
Here is a look at what the players have tweeted so far to Big Blue Nation:
It's been a great journey with these boys I call my family. #WeAreUK #BROTHERS #BBN I know they will… https://t.co/FLT5Mry9o5

Even the Calipari children had something to say about their Dad and the players:
So proud of this team and what they accomplished. This was a bunch of talented guys who put their egos aside for the greater good.

At the end of the day, you can't really complain about being in the final four. Again.

I feel Blue cause I bleed Blue but all I hear is “Go Big Blue”
Thanks to the Coaches, players, and staff, you all worked sooooooooo hard!
Love you all … DavidPat
How sad is it that we’re all upset over a 38 – 1 final 4 season?
The sadness I am experiencing is from knowing that some of these wonderful young men are leaving to follow their dreams and while I am very happy that they are getting the chance to do so I am still sad that they are leaving. Best of luck to those who are leaving the nest. You will always be loved by The Big Blue Nation
Thank you Coach Cal and all the players for an unbelievable awesome season!!! It was a great run and so much fun along the way.
I have to comment on the stupid storyline headlining everywhere, it seems, regarding Andrew’s post game mutter. GET THE EFF OVER IT PEOPLE AND MOVE ON! Those words shouldn’t be part of our language, true. Have you ever heard the lyrics to some rap music? Ever sat court side during a game? Ever heard the trash talking that goes on the court? The reality is that they are still a part of our world and frequently used by those we would think it might offend the most. This is nothing new. You take a young kid who has shouldered a tremendous amount of adult like responsibility for months, have his heart broken after being beaten to death by referees and physically beaten up by an opposing team without interference that refs are supposed to curtail, and then ask him stupid questions. What do you expect? This group of kids have modeled exemplary behavior towards one another and the world for a few years. How dare you take one understandable comment and run it all over the headlines in the country! THAT OFFENDS ME! And I refuse to click on those articles giving them my time and attention. And the school and coaching staff had better not take any action against Andrew! Let it go and move on. Walk away from anybody who brings it up. If not, then you need to take action against every ball player and rapper out there in the world. MOVE ON.
