This isn’t the first time Calipari has said something like this, far from it.
He’s right in one sense.
The title game doesn’t matter.
It has no impact on seeds, we’ve seen that play out numerous times.
But if Arkansas loses to South Carolina?
Buddy, be ready to sweat out a trip to beautiful Dayton, Ohio.
We somehow live in a world where John Calipari is getting credit for being on the bubble.
He talked about winning titles.
They are projected as one of the last 10 seeds right now.
I know Boogie Fland got hurt, every team is dealing with injuries.
This is sill a very underwhelming year for Arkansas and anyone argues opposite is just wrong.
It took 20 games for them to realize how Johnell Davis plays.
That played when he made 4 Final Fours in his first 6 years and won a title.
It wasn’t the laid back the tournament doesn’t matter.
It was being better than everyone.
If you want to say it doesn’t matter, wait until you check that you beat South Carolina.
