Community Picks: Texas A&M 0% vs Arkansas 0%

Kentucky doesn't need to be reminded that each of its losses have come to unranked foes on days when it couldn't match its opponent's intensity.

John Calipari and his Kentucky Wildcats face a major challenge: Find a way to stop getting bullied before the heralded squad drops completely out of the Top 25.
