LAWRENCE, Kan. – The debut of John Calipari at Arkansas will come in a charity exhibition game against Kansas next month.
The schools announced Wednesday that their men’s basketball teams would meet Oct. 25 at Bud Walton Arena in Fayetteville. Proceeds from the game will be split between the Fore the Kids Foundation, which is based in Overland Park, Kansas, and promotes mental health among children, and the Arkansas Children’s Hospitals.
Calipari left Kentucky for Arkansas after 15 seasons, which included four trips to the Final Four and the 2012 national title. He said at the time the Wildcats’ program “needs to hear another voice,” and Calipari headed to SEC-rival Arkansas to replace Eric Musselman, who left for the same job at Southern California.
