My concern (UK-Ark)

Arkansas looks exactly like you'd expect them to look. There's no real offense executed. They do a lot of Boogie Fland iso and try to let him create. Sometimes Thiero gets it and tries to post up or go to the hoop. They're not a well oiled machine that's going to stick with us in a shoot out.

Arkansas was 0-3 going into the LSU game. I can't imagine you're any more concerned, locked in, etc. I don't think there's a world where 0-3 fails to get your attention, but 0-4 wakes you up.

They're 0-4 going to Mizzou. They got smashed. They'll probably lose to Georgia and Oklahoma.

I just don't think Arkansas has some hidden higher level of play that they're suddenly going to tap into after they're FINALLY pi$$ed off from going 0-7.

Yes, Cal has a history of getting these huge unexpected wins. At Kentucky. With NBA draft picks. Boogie Fland is probably the lone "dude" right now. And he's got a hand injury that Cal called "bad." If this goes the way of a normal John Calipari player injury: Fland will miss the next 6 weeks. During that time, Calipari won't have seen him once.

The way to beat Kentucky (unless you're elite elite like Alabama) is to play physical and muck it up in a low scoring game. That's not John Calipari's style. He wants to "run" and "go" and increase the number of possessions in the game.
 
Pope isn’t getting any for sale signs in his yard regardless of what happens down the stretch. He’s more than exceeded expectations this year.
 
My only concern is getting healthy and contending for the conference title. Arkansas is just another game we should win and need to win. If they were off to a great start in conference i might feel differently.

We can't afford to sit the players we need to get healthy. That's the issue.

And it's pretty obvious to me who is winning the SEC and it won't be much of a competition IMO.
