John Calipari’s Arkansas managed to achieve the impossible by securing a direct entry to the big dance. But does that end their troubles? Not at all! The problems keep piling up! The Hogs will begin their March madness journey against the program that started the season as the number 1 seed- Kansas Jayhawks. To make matters worse, coach Cal will be without his top scorer.
According to ESPN’s Pete Thamel, Calipari has confirmed that junior forward Adou Thiero won’t be playing in the first-round game making it all the more difficult for the Hogs to overcome the Jayhawks.
John Calipari says that Adou Thiero will not play for Arkansas against Kansas tomorrow.

Prior to the build of the game Coach Cal addressed the issue of Arkansas being sent to Providence instead of Lexington. He said, “John Calipari jokes that “someone must have been sick” or “went to the bathroom” on the NCAA Selection committee by not putting Arkansas in Lexington.”
