Kentucky day will always be one of the biggest days on the Razorback basketball calendar. For people like me, who came of age as a Razorback fan during Nolan Richardson's heyday in the early 90's, this game remains one of the biggest Hog days of the year regardless of sport.
The hype is already there just from the names of the two programs. Throw in that John Calipari was probably Arkansas' Villain of the Year in 2015 and it just adds to the intensity. You might recall that one of Kentucky's best teams blew out the Hogs in Rupp last year and easily beat Arkansas again in an SEC Championship Game that became a little bloody, and left Ashley Judd basically threatening to have the entire state arrested.
