MEMPHIS — With each clasp of a handshake and brimming grin as he passed familiar faces, John Calipari appeared right at home.
The second-year Arkansas men’s basketball coach entered Tuesday's press conference at FedEx Forum and embraced the city where he once lived. Calipari coached Memphis from 2000-09 and had not brought any of his teams to the city since departing for the Kentucky job.
Until now.
The long-reported Hoops for St. Jude Tip Off Classic exhibition between the Razorbacks and Tigers was officially announced Tuesday and is scheduled for Oct. 27 at 8 p.
