The moment you’ve all been waiting for is here, John Calipari making his highly anticipated return to Lexington, walking into Rupp Arena for the very first time as an Arkansas Razorback. The Hogs aren’t very good, but this matchup is so much bigger than team personnel or strengths vs. weaknesses. It’s about emotions and nostalgia, living in the Twilight Zone as the guy who led the program for 15 years is now at an SEC rival. The Sources Say crew talks through those emotions and our take on the game before things get crazy on Saturday. Have the nerves hit yet? Will they ever? What are the keys to a win and potential players to keep an eye on? Who is this a must-win for, Kentucky or Cal? What will it be like seeing some familiar faces wearing the wrong jersey in the place they once called home? It’s time for the official Coach Cal Homecoming Preview with Sources Say.

Coming into Tuesday night’s game against Kentucky, the Wildcats’ main focus always centered around keeping the Aggies off the glass, especially on their own missed shots. Texas A&M brought a 44 percent offensive rebounding rate into Lexington and was coming off a 19 offensive rebound performance in a close loss to Alabama over the weekend. Even without a towering seven-footer, Texas A&M’s pure physicality and willingness to make the game ugly has allowed them to live on the boards this season. Jack Pilgrim and Shawn Smith break down Kentucky's win over Texas A&M and talk about the struggles that are happening down in Fayetteville, Arkansas

We’re just days removed from Kentucky‘s instant-classic win against a top-10 Florida team at home, and now, our pets’ heads are falling off and it’s time to panic. Just kidding — but it was a disaster for the Cats in Athens, Mark Pope’s group exposed once again with the tougher, more physical team winning inside Stegeman Coliseum. It’s played to the same script, all three of Kentucky’s losses looking the exact same with the same flaws killing their chances to establish some semblance of season momentum going into the core of SEC play. The highs are brilliantly high, but once again, the lows are excruciatingly low. And don’t even get us started on the officiating. What went wrong at Georgia? And what must fix in a hurry for the Cats to get back on track, specifically in Starkville? Sources Say breaks it down LIVE tonight on the KSR YouTube Channel.

Right when celebrating the big-time win over Duke slowed down, Kentucky got to pick it right back up again with yet another blowout victory — this time over the Lipscomb Bisons, the projected winner of the ASUN. Jaxson Robinson got back on track with a 20-point effort while Lamont Butler and Otega Oweh were the other standouts (plus Travis Perry and Trent Noah minutes to put a bow on things at the end of regulation). How big was it to not let the Champions Classic win linger — or the fact that Mark Pope doesn’t believe in trap games at all? Where do things stand with the analytics nationally as it relates to the team’s chances to make a run?

Tonight 11 Personnel parses through the Kentucky head coach’s comments a few days after another beatdown at Tennessee. Fortunately, a bye week does provide a slight reprieve from the madness, but folks, college football never stops and neither do we.
