The Arkansas basketball team made a splash hire this offseason, swiping John Calipari from SEC rival Kentucky. As he gears up for Year 1 in Fayetteville, it seems Big Blue Nation is taking interest in his new program.
On Monday, a Wildcats fan attempted to troll the head coach with an Olympic team graphic showing a number of Cal’s former players. It didn’t take long for Arkansas to bite back!
Kentucky boasts a handful of former players on the Team USA roster as it preps for a trip to the 2024 Paris Games. Included are NBA standouts Anthony Davis, Devin Booker, and Bam Adebayo.
While attempting to take a swipe at the Razorbacks, one Kentucky supporter used that trio to create a fake graphic online that began gaining major attention.

The post suggested that the Arkansas Razorbacks were using Coach Cal’s success at Kentucky to prop up their own program since it boasts no former players on that Team USA roster.
