AmberAbyss+FollowCalipari says Arkansas is tougher this yearJohn Calipari isn’t holding back—he’s calling this year’s Arkansas team the kind of tough, gritty squad he loves to coach. After last season’s rocky start and a “fragile” locker room, Calipari says he can finally push his players hard without worrying about breaking their spirit. Monday’s 103-74 win over James Madison showed off that new edge, with freshman Meleek Thomas dropping 28 points and the team forcing 14 turnovers. With a brutal non-conference schedule behind them and Tennessee up next, Arkansas fans, do you feel this team is built for a deep SEC run? #Sports #ArkansasBasketball #Calipari00Share
