John Calipari’s first season at Arkansas has been one for the record books.
The Razorbacks are still searching for their first win of 2025, as their nightmare continued Saturday evening with an 83-65 loss to Missouri in Columbia, Mo.
With that result, the Hall of Fame coach did something not even Stan Heath or John Pelphrey accomplished during their disastrous tenures in Fayetteville: open SEC play 0-5. In addition to it being Arkansas’ worst start since joining the league more than three decades ago, the last time the UA lost its first five conference games was 1985-86, when it was still in the SWC.
