John Calipari Jests About NCAA Tournament Location, Praises Arkansas’ SEC Championship Run
Arkansas coach John Calipari humorously questioned the NCAA selection committee’s choice of Portland as the first-round destination for his team, jokingly wondering if they were playing outside the United States due to the long distance.
The Razorbacks, who just won the SEC Tournament, are a No. 4 seed in the West Regional and will face Hawaii. Calipari’s comments came after a successful SEC Championship run, as he leads the team into his 25th March Madness appearance.
