John Calipari’s first trip back to Rupp Arena with his new team was a successful one.
Calipari’s unranked Arkansas upset No. 12 Kentucky 89-79 on Saturday in his first contest against his former team. Calipari spent 15 years with the Wildcats before leaving for Arkansas after last season. He won a national title with Kentucky and produced countless NBA stars.
Aduo Thiero, who followed Calipari to Arkansas from Kentucky, led the way for the Razorbacks with 21 points and eight boards. Johnell Davis added 18 points, six assists and five boards.
Kentucky’s Amari Williams and Jaxson Robinson combined for 42, but it wasn’t enough to avoid the upset.
