00:00Florida beat Arkansas 71-63. Let's check in with Arkansas head coach John Calipari, because things, listen, they've been a little rocky lately, as his Razorbacks have now lost three games in a row, albeit to Tennessee Ole Miss and Florida, but still, they've lost three in a row.
00:19Let's check in with John as he wants to try to maybe rethink some of the things he's doing down there.
00:24And we still have a chance, and then we start missing free throws. So, I gotta look and say, are we playing the right people? Are we playing the right way? We're getting shots, we're getting layups, we got to the free throw line. We did all the stuff we're trying to do.
00:46So, this continues.
00:49They're not better than those three teams. Let's start with that, Mike.
00:53No. And he said his team was getting layups? Well, apparently his team didn't do very good at the layups.
00:59And you mentioned the missed layups there, two of 16 on layups, just as Florida doing anything.
01:04It was that?
01:05Yeah, two of 16.
01:06It was two of 16?
01:07That's what it says on the stat broadcast, yeah.
01:09No way. There's no way a team goes two for 16 next to the basket. Won't happen. That's wrong.
01:14Okay.
01:15It's two for 10, maybe.
01:16But it was right.
01:17Not two for 16. No way.
01:20But that was what they were. Listen, they're just like, what did they expect when they hired him? Utopia?
01:27Like that he was going to come into Fayetteville and win a national championship in the first season?
01:32John Calipari can flat out coach. I don't care what anybody says about him.
01:37People don't like him, this, that. He's cocky, he's a showboat, all the rest.
01:42I think he's been an excellent college basketball coach everywhere he's been.
01:46And I think he'll do well in Fayetteville. I think it's going to take a couple of years.
01:50I bet in the third year he's in the Elite Eight.
01:54I guess they expected 30-0, national championship, right out of the gate.
01:59He got to win the whole thing. John Calipari.
02:01They're a little slow down there. They got a football team, too, that sucks.
02:05Yeah, and then everyone says, well, look at how good Kentucky's doing now that he's gone.
02:09Look at the job Pope's doing there.
02:11He always did good at Kentucky.
02:14And he always did good in the regular season.
02:16So if this guy's so great, and this is nothing against Mark Pope,
02:20he better go to the Final Four then in his first year, right?
02:23Better go to the Final Four in his first year.
02:25Has to do better than Cal immediately, just like he's doing now.
02:28They'll turn on him in two years.
02:30They lose the first weekend, and that guy's on the skewer just like Cal was every year for the last 10 years.
02:38He'll be right on the skewer, Mark Pope.
02:40He got sick of it. You're judged on a different level.
