Everything seems to be going John Calipari’s way right now. Just like it usually happens in college basketball, a team that was thought to be done could now make a big run.
The Razorbacks have won a couple of games in the NCAA Tournament already, and they’re now about to get some big help ahead of their Sweet 16 date with Texas Tech.
According to coach Calipari, forward Aduo Thiero will be available to play in the West Region semifinals, and it will be the first time since January 18 that they have a fully healthy roster.

“We need his toughness and athleticism,” Calipari said on The Pat McAfee Show. “The most he’ll play, 12 minutes. Maybe 15. Maybe. I doubt (it), but you’ve got to prepare now because we’re a different team.”

This isn’t much of a surprise, as coach Cal had already hinted at a potential return. However, his return to practice was limited. Now, with more time to heal, he’s going to give it a go.

Thiero sustained the knee injury late in February in his team’s 92-85 over Missouri. He was hobbling around and fought through the injury in the second half, and he was believed to be shut down for the season.
