It’s no secret that there has been plenty of animosity between the Arkansas and Kentucky basketball fan bases since John Calipari left for Fayetteville.
The trash-talking from the Kentucky side only amped up after the Wildcats’ blazing start under Mark Pope, with wins over the likes of Duke, Gonzaga, Florida. Tuesday’s road win over No. 8 Tennessee stands as these new-look ‘Cat’s latest cherished scalp.
Meanwhile, the train has come off the tracks in Fayetteville. After Saturday’s loss to Oklahoma, the Razorbacks’ hopes of an NCAA Tournament appearance are slipping into the abyss.
For the most part, Big Blue Nation couldn’t be more pleased with the new order of things after Calipari’s departure and Pope’s arrival.
