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.
