To say that this had been a disappointing start to the season for the Arkansas Razorbacks wouldāve been a massive understatement. They desperately needed some momentum.
Fortunately, it seems like theyāve found it. They beat No. 14 Kentucky, John Calipariās former team, and they took care of business against another tough opponent in the Texas Longhorns.
People quickly forgot all the talk about Calipari potentially being on the hot seat. In fact, NCAA analyst Jeff Goodman believes that Nelly Davisā new aggressive approach could take them back to tournament contention.
Jeff Goodman praises John Calipariās aggressiveness
āHe is back confidence-wise, youāre giving him the ball,ā Goodman said. āHeās the guy right now thatās gonna lead this team back to the bubble.ā
John Calipari
Davis is averaging roughly over 10 points per game for the Razorbacks. The senior guard is one of the most talented and experienced players on the team, and heās rising up to the talent.
The Razorbacks are 14-8, so thereās still a chance that they will make their way to the NCAA Tournament, especially with a savvy and veteran coach like John Calipari.

Of course, youāre only a good as you were in your last game, so the Razorbacks are in no position to rest on their laurels just yet. If anything, they desperately need to keep the momentum going.
