The season did not end on such a high note though . After receiving a bye to the quarterfinals of the SEC Tournament , Kentucky lost that game to Vanderbilt . Showing a great deal of emotion , Harrow blamed himself while fighting tears in post game interviews . Kentucky was later eliminated by Robert Morris in the NIT 's opening round . Two weeks later , Harrow announced that he would be transferring universities to be with his father . " I really tried not to think about it until the season was all the way over , " Harrow said . " It was a hard decision because I knew how good Kentucky was going to be this season . " Ryan 's father was his only family member still living in Atlanta , and he felt like he needed to be there with him . " We have a saying in my family , ' Family First ' , " Harrow said . " We 've all got that tattooed on us . My dad is the only one in Atlanta , and with the struggles that he 's going through , I just thought that it would be best for me to come back and help him with whatever he needed . " Head coach , John Calipari , said in a statement , " Given the health of his dad , we fully support Ryan 's decision to transfer to Georgia State to be closer to his family in Atlanta . Ryan was a vital part of this year 's team and an important player in practice during our 2011 – 12 national championship run . I want to thank Ryan for his efforts and hard work and wish him the best of luck at Georgia State . I know the Big Blue Nation will keep a close eye on him and wish him well as he continues his basketball career and his pursuit of a college degree . " Ryan Harrow earned All-Sun Belt First-Team honors and Sun Belt All-Tournament recognition in his first season at Georgia State . He also earned NABC All-District 24 Region honors .
