HOT SPRINGS — In many ways it was a typical practice for the Arkansas men’s basketball team.
There were players working on individual drills, running weaves and wind sprints and going up and down the court five-on-five.
Coach John Calipari blew his whistle and stopped practice to huddle with his players. Assistant coaches were offering instructions and encouragement.
But there was a twist to Saturday’s practice as well.
The Razorbacks were at Bank OZK Arena inside the Hot Springs Convention Center rather than working at their practice facility in Fayetteville or at Walton Arena.
