After a dismal road season thus far, winning game number 500 would have been sweet for Kentucky head coach John Calipari last night at Arkansas. But as with MOST road games for the Wildcats this year, it wasn’t meant to be. Kentucky lost a heart breaker to Arkansas in overtime and leave a lot of unanswered questions about their ability to win away from Rupp.

Brandon Knight had a career high and Josh Harrellson showed up to play earning a double-double but it wasn’t enough to push the team over the hurdle and earn Coach Cal win 500. It’s a win that Coach Cal hopes to earn in the safe confines of Rupp Arena on Saturday when his Wildcats play host to Florida.
