One of the most anticipated games of the 2024-25 college basketball season will take place Saturday night when John Calipari returns to Rupp Arena to coach Arkansas against No. 12 Kentucky. This will mark the lone scheduled meeting between the programs this season and Calipari's first game against his old team since exiting the UK program after 15 years to join Arkansas.

This is perhaps the most loaded men's college basketball slate of the season so far. Buckle up as we guide you through a Saturday full of action.

Adou Thiero, who followed Calipari from Lexington to Fayetteville, scored 21 points against his former team to help Arkansas pick up just its second win in the calendar year.
