John Calipari has proven to be the top NCAA Basketball recruiter in the country. It ensures one thing - players come and go frequently, as he gets numerous players that are one-and-done, or two-and-done. Most coaches would move on depleted after that. However, Kentucky quickly replaces those departed with an equal caliber crop of new players. That recipe avoids losing streaks, and the Wildcats have not lost two straight games since early March of 2013. They are off a real bad loss against Auburn and the expectation here, as we have seen over the years, is that they respond with a big effort. Arkansas has been a disappointing 9-8 on the season, and have already suffered damaging home losses to the likes of Akron, and Mercer this season. They will be catching a Kentucky team that will bring it, and just don't have the talent to fend them off in this one. The value in this one calls for Kentucky on the moneyline.
