Calipari's tenure at Kentucky ended with too many losses in March, but there's no denying he breathed instant life into a program that was struggling when he arrived.

The Arkansas Razorbacks (12-8, 1-6 SEC) have had their share of struggles to start Southeastern Conference play, and one big part of that has been an inconsistent frontcourt. The four main players — Jonas Aidoo, Zvonimir Ivisic, Trevon Brazile and Adou Thiero — have all had solid individual performances throughout the season, but most of them haven't been able to show that consistently. The only one who has been consistent is Thiero, who is the team's leading scorer at 16.1 points per game and the leading rebounder at 6.2 per game.
