NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Vanderbilt believes in "Memorial Magic" but it was Hall of Fame coach John Calipari who waved his wand and turned Arkansas into the belle of the ball.
How bad was Arkansas in the first-half of a huge bubble game versus South Carolina? This was the worst of the worst, historically.
That was an impressive win for the Arkansas basketball team, especially because of their injury trouble. The Razorbacks have dealt with a lot of injury issues this year, and for head coach John Calipari, it's like coaching different teams.
Both Kentucky and Arkansas suffered tough losses over the weekend to Auburn and South Carolina, respectively, but how coaches Mark Pope and John Calipari responded couldn't have been more different.
South Carolina had lost 14 straight games until knocking off NCAA hopefuls Texas and Arkansas. Another bubble team, Georgia, is next.
