It’s hard not to be a fan of John Calipari’s work — he’s baking up wins anywhere he goes.
After all, his first year as Arkansas’ coach, following a memorable run at Kentucky, got even sweeter when Calipari’s No. 10 Razorbacks upset Bill Self’s No. 7 Kansas Jayhawks on Day 1 of March Madness.

Megan Calipari breathed a major sigh of relief as the Hogs clinched it, 79-72.
