John Calipari and the Dominican Republic National Team opened play in the 2011 FIBA Americas Championship with a 90-60 win over Cuba. Al Horford led all scorers with 24 points and Jack Michael Martinez had a double-double with 16 points and 10 rebounds.After the game, Calipari took to Twitter to discuss the win and put the pressure he is facing as coach into perspective.”Really proud of how we opened the FIBA Americas Championship,” Calipari said. “We’re getting better (and) everyone wants to be coached. After the game I was asked if I was feeling the pressure of trying to qualify the (Dominican Republic) for the Olympics. I said, ‘You don’t understand, Kentucky is like a country. There is only one thing UK fans want to do and that’s win national titles. It’s not qualifying for national titles; it’s about winning them.'”The game was the first of four games the Dominicans will play in Group A, where Brazil is the favorite to advance. The two top finishers in the tournament will advance to the London Olympics, with the third, fourth and fifth place teams earning a chance to play in another qualifying tournament immediately preceding the Olympics.
