FOX Sports analyst Aaron Torres praised Arkansas basketball after their 85-69 exhibition win over Kansas. He suggested the team could win the SEC and reach the Final Four in John Calipari's first season. Kansas coach Bill Self also noted Arkansas's potential, claiming this team might be more talented than some of Calipari's past Kentucky squads. However, Calipari cautioned against making early comparisons. Calipari, starting his new role at Arkansas, remains cautious about overhyping the team. He acknowledged the importance of having strong guards for success but refrained from making bold predictions.
