2000 was the first and only time? I could be wrong. Little lefty guard I think was the guy on that team.Okay? Well, that isn’t even true, but okay?

We played the first two games in the tournament with 6 players. That is it. We will have 7 tonight.If Arky is disinterested in playing defense like they were last game, they’ll get blasted. Hoping for it.

I hope your right !I am very much looking forward to the game tonight. I think it will be a good one but Arizona is simply a really really good team. I think they have too much for Arkansas.

Well Pal you might just want to start celebrating Sweet Sixteens.
LMFAO look at this fan of the basketball powerhouse that is Arkansas.What’s funny to me is, people thought he came to Arkansas to kick the can down the road. We wouldn’t hire a coach in that fashion. We get 0 respect from the outside. We are a proud bball fan base. Cal is the 3rd hall of fame coach that’s coached here and people talk about Arkansas like we’re irrelevant.
For example I hear constantly how Arizona is a “blue blood”. How exactly ? Arkansas has a better tournament history than they do, we are 6-2 all time against them. I know what Arkansas is and isn’t, but it isn’t a program that is fine with taking the back seat. We actually have a little pride. We have the most tournament wins right now of any SEC team since 2015. Is that satisfying? Sure, but we also have higher expectations than just tournament wins. We want to get to our 7th final 4. We’d like to make the title game again. We almost went back to back in 93-95.

We could stop playing immediately and Arkansas continue playing for 100 years and you’d still be behind Kentucky. Get bent!You hired Mark Pope. Lmao
How’d all of that championship pedigree work out for ya?

This! You’re right! That’s what all these fanbases do! Literally come to our board seeking approval. Been that way as long as I can remember.Your “hall of fame” coaches are well known for losing to Kentucky. One of my earliest Kentucky basketball memories was of the Wildcats promptly sending your 1978 Sydney Moncrief team home from the Final Four.
I remember how you ran your mouths when joining the SEC with Nolan Richardson, only to compile a tawdry 1-10 (lol) SEC tourney record against Kentucky and an equally pitiful 15-37 series record against the greatest college basketball program of all time.
Hell, I can almost understand you guys coming over here to seek our approval.
They really can't play intense 2 pt defense because they'll foul out and they don't go deep at all.I just saw a newsletter from Ken Pomeroy and he was mentioning how poorly Arkansas 2 pt FG defense has been and how Arizona very much relies on going inside.

It could be a long night for the Razorbacks.

And just think, the man with all that "Chicken Man" and Walton family slave labor money backing him lost with all that future NBA All-Star talent to MARK POPE at The Pig PenGonna be a while before Cal retires, he has Tyson, Walmart, and J B Hunt money to work with, and you guys already have Pelphrey and Heath level coaching in place. Enjoy another year of being very mediocre.
Cal typically loses games he's not supposed to and wins games like these. Reminds me a bit of Kentucky and Ohio State with Knight and Jorts. He will have his team ready.
Agree to disagree. He’s doing things at Arkansas now he refused to do here. He had his players here that were going to play no matter what to the detriment of the teams success. Wagner, Edwards and Bradshaw his last year here as an example. Sure Dillingham and Shep still saw time on the floor but there was zero reason for those two with reeves to not be on the floor together the majority of the game. A coach can have a bad year, cal had numerous with tons of talent.It's simply confirmation bias to claim those things about Cal. He never quit on UK. He's the same coach now as he's ever been. Probably better because of experience? Like Pitino is a better now than he ever was.
As for Sheppard, Cal took him from a for sure 2-3 year guy to the number 3 pick. Sheppard himself says Cal is the best coach in college basketball.
Cal loved being at UK. Cal loved the UK fans. He never talked down to fans. Just because matt jones says it doesn't make it true. Cal never burned any bridges with boosters. Most of those sol called burned boosters still visit him in Arkansas and welcome him into their homes when he's in Ky.
Cal wore out his welcome here with the players first thing. But it was something he never shied from. He said it day one and he never wavered from it.
None of that has anything to do with Pope. Barney made a panic hire once his chosen man backed out. I thought it was going to turn out to be a stroke of genius. But it's not. The problem now is Barney refusing to correct his mistake.

Hey you owe me a case of Ale8 for telling me we were going to win the SEC. They do take online orders and ship across the mainland! LolI'd rather Zona get knocked out so we can interview their coach.
Better ride this brief wave of average success bubba. Your coach is 100 years old. It will be back to irrelevance soon enough.Spoiled fan base. Hell I would have quit on you to.
If you keep it up, Pope is going to quit on you then who you're going to get? Travis Ford?
I have seen people wanting Pitino back over here and he is 73Enjoy your fun. Cal is 67 then you can have Brad.
Kentucky proved they could get whoever they wanted after Cal . LOLYou’re going to have Stan Heath and John Pelphrey level coaching and relevance once again when Cal leaves, so enjoy it while it lasts.
If the Hogs can pull off the upset they can beat anyone left ... Tough task though and not a good matchup tonightI am very much looking forward to the game tonight. I think it will be a good one but Arizona is simply a really really good team. I think they have too much for Arkansas.
I didn't believe Rick but I do now. Cocaine is a hell of a drug!We leave that to Arkansas and Tennessee fans. What we consider failure you consider success. You are here craving approval that we can’t give you.
That’s why we are and will always be better than you.
You mean like....Kentucky? Oh well, at least we have Baseball and Track to tie us over and you all have swimming and women golf I guess.Better ride this brief wave of average success bubba. Your coach is 100 years old. It will be back to irrelevance soon enough.
Love the post. Spot on. Calipari is pig in more ways than one. Your comment that "Cal quit on Kentucky" is absolutely correct. Once he had used KY to get what he wanted, his focus changed and his attitude was an expectation that everyone could kiss is buttocks. Cal was just about Cal and a real piece of excrement. It's interesting that he NEVER leaves a coaching position on good terms. NEVER. He has no grace nor class. He's a classless pig. JMO.That's what I'd like to see happen. Ten is more realistic.
You people who are suddenly revisionists about John Calipari as a way of attacking Pope are delusional and pathetic.
Calipari flat out quit on Kentucky, once he got his lifetime contract, and wanted to blame the fan base -- all of us -- for the fact that he went 9-16, then lost to St. Peter's with NBA-caliber talent, then couldn't beat Jerome Tang with the National Player of the Year and an NBA guard, then decided NOT TO START two NBA lottery picks, and lost to a Horizon League team despite having about six guys drafted in the NBA and still playing there.
He screwed up Reed Sheppard's head to the point that a guy now averaging 14 ppg in the NBA looked worse than Jon Hood against some guy for Oakland who is probably a DoorDash driver today.
Calipari quit on Kentucky, and now that he wrecked our program he's putting in the effort again -- just to stick it to us and salve his own ego. That makes him a loser and a turd.
I'm not totally sold on Pope. One more year, and we'll know whether he needs to go. For that year, I might as well back him and wish him well, by way of being a faithful Kentucky fan.
But the Calipari nostalgia on this board is purely for masochists and wimps of the type who'd let someone cheat on them, steal their money, and then wish them well with a new guy.
The Razorbacks WIN TONIGHT IF Nolan replaces Cal on the bench and unleashes his 40 MINUTES OF HELL!!!!!!!!!!! >:OI’m with you. I was against the Pope hire from the jump, but def happy Cal left. I will support our team next season to the best of my ability, I’ll cheer for them to win every game.
Rex Chapman!!!!!!!Spoiled fan base. Hell I would have quit on you to.
If you keep it up, Pope is going to quit on you then who you're going to get? Travis Ford?
