Fourteen members of the family took the trip to the game Friday.

The treatment didn't stop with just a trip to Rupp Arena. The family sat right behind the Wildcats' bench.

Calipari tweeted last month that his "family's American dream started in a…coal mine, so this picture hits home."

The Wildcats are the fourth-ranked team in the nation behind UNC, Gonzaga and Houston.
