Kentucky came into this game as an 18-point favorite, but the stars almost aligned for Arkansas to pull off the upset. The Razorbacks flummoxed the Cats with a zone, hit ten threes, and held PJ Washington to nine points. Afterwards, John Calipari said he was proud of his team for rallying from a 15-point second half deficit, but admitted they didn’t really deserve to win.
“Let me say this before we get started. Arkansas deserved to win the game. We fought in the second half and did enough to win the game. But you got to give them credit, because those kids, I mean they shot 50 percent from the three.
