GREENVILLE, S.C. -- John Calipari may be college basketball's king of one-and-done freshman players, but Kentucky's coach still appreciates the impact of junior college transfers Jaylen Barford and Daryl Macon for the Arkansas Razorbacks.
"When those two figured out how good they were, and when those two figured out what would work at this level, they were ridiculous," Calipari said. "Both of them."
The 6-3 junior guards combined for 31 points in Kentucky's 82-65 victory over the Razorbacks in the SEC Tournament final Sunday.
Macon led the University of Arkansas, Fayetteville with 18 points against the Wildcats.
