PROVIDENCE, R.I. -- John Calipari had a message for his No. 10 seed Arkansas men's basketball team before Saturday's matchup against No. 2 St. John's in the second round of the NCAA tournament.
"I said prior to the game, 'How about we give ourselves a chance to make some magic? Let's go fight like heck, play free and loose, [and] whatever happens, happens,'" he said.
The Razorbacks responded in a physical, hard-fought 75-66 win that put Calipari, in his first season with the team, back in the Sweet 16 for the 16th time.
