GAINESVILLE, Fla. (LEX 18) — A tweet from Coach Calipari confirmed what BBN was hoping not to hear.
"Ashton did not make the trip with us to Florida," wrote Cal. "He and I met a couple days ago and he asked to step away for a couple days for personal reasons. I support his decision. We are going to need him at 100% for the postseason."

The news followed what appeared to be a heated conversation between Ashton Hagans and Coach John Calipari during the Tennessee game where UK dropped a 17-point lead and lost to the Vols.
