With 8:19 left in the Kentucky/Arkansas game, John Calipari had seen enough. After the officials called a moving screen on a seemingly immobile EJ Montgomery, Cal threw up his hands and stepped towards the refs for an explanation. With his team trying to hold him back, Calipari continued to question Anthony Jordan and was swiftly ejected and escorted from the court. Arkansas’ Mason Jones hit three of four free throws to put the Razorbacks up 47-44.
Kentucky could have easily folded. Down three in an arena dying for a ‘dub, I think most of us expected it; however, with Kenny Payne and Tony Barbee manning the ship, the Cats went on a 15-2 run over the next four and a half minutes to take a 61-49 lead.
