LEXINGTON, Ky. — John Calipari’s return to Rupp Arena for the Arkansas vs Kentucky game is sure to be emotional.
The scuffling Razorbacks are set to take on the No. 12 Wildcats at 8 p.m. CT Saturday on ESPN and inside the building the Hall of Fame coach called home for 15 years before leaving for Fayetteville last April.
It remains to be seen if Calipari will be met with boos, cheers or a mixture of both from the 23,500 fans, but it’s already crystal clear that he’s enjoyed being around some of the people he left behind in Lexington — as evidenced by him visiting his go-to Dunkin’ Donuts the morning of the game.
