Brown: John Calipari's return to Rupp Arena now just another game for Kentucky basketball
Arkansas basketball is irrelevant in its first season under John Calipari. Cal's return to Rupp Arena is now just another game for Kentucky basketball
Good morning, folks! We’re in for a busy day in the world of Kentucky basketball. First, we’ll hear from men’s head coach Mark Pope this afternoon as he prepares for Saturday’s highly-anticipated showdown against John Calipari‘s Arkansas Razorbacks.
Contrast that success with Calipari’s first Arkansas team, which needed six tries to notch its first SEC win of the year, and Kentucky fans figure to have plenty of ammunition Saturday. The Razorbacks are just 12-8 overall, and their 1-6 start to SEC play has them looking like a long shot for an NCAA Tournament berth.
As John Calipari gets set to lead Arkansas against Kentucky in his return to Rupp Arena on Saturday, the SEC made sure that he'll be resting up while Mark Pope's Wildcats continue their grueling schedule.
Tennessee fought back within 74-73 with 28.6 seconds left on a Chaz Lanier 3-pointer but Otega Oweh, who had 14 points, buried four free throws to seal the deal. The win moved Kentucky to 15-5, 4-3 in the SEC and dropped Tennessee to 17-4, 4-4. The Hogs are a stunning 12-8, 1-6.
Calipari returns to Kentucky for the first time Saturday when the Wildcats host Arkansas. The Razorbacks (12-8, 1-6) have this week off but No. 12 Kentucky (14-5, 3-3) has a huge game tonight at No. 8 Tennessee (17-3, 4-3).
Arkansas men's basketball has endured a rough season under John Calipari thus far, with the Razorbacks starting 11-6 overall and 0-4 in SEC play.
Don't look now, but Tom Izzo has himself a squad. Missouri may have the best win of the week. Wake Forest solved a big problem.
