Kentucky is faring much better than Arkansas so far this season, who are now being coached by former Kentucky head coach John Calipari. Calipari and Kentucky parted ways in April after 15 years. Kentucky had won only one NCAA Tournament game in Calipari's last four years in Lexington and suffered massive first-round upsets at the hands of a 15 and a 14 seed.

With conference play fully underway, it is abundantly clear that John Calipari was the problem for Kentucky, and not the other way around. Look at how his replacement Mark Pope is doing when compared to how Calipari is doing over at Arkansas.
