Winning on the road is fun. Winning on the road is REALLY fun when you’re the underdog. No. 23 Kentucky went to Fayetteville and beat the Arkansas Razorbacks 88-79 without a point guard, as Cason Wallace and Sahvir Wheeler were both out. It was a wild and improbable victory that injected life back into the Big Blue Nation after a worrisome loss vs. Vanderbilt. Get Wallace healthy and we’re cooking again, just in time for the posteason.

Despite yesterday’s crazy weather across Kentucky and the Southeast, a small but passionate group of Kentucky fans made the trek to Fayetteville. Matt Sak, a staple in the eRupption Zone, was among them and captured this beautiful video of Arkansas fans hitting the exits early.

There were plenty of other fun moments from this game. In the first half, John Calipari got a coach’s box warning and whipped around and told his bench and the row behind it to scoot their chairs back. Chin Coleman and Bruiser Flint couldn’t help but laugh.

When Eric Musselman didn’t have his head buried in his hands on the bench, he was absolutely losing it. This meltdown with 6:25 left after Kentucky called a timeout to avoid a 5-second call trying to get the ball in is the most memorable:

A few minutes later, Calipari went at the refs himself when it looked like they might call a technical on Lance Ware for hanging on the rim after a dunk when Arkansas’ Jordan Walsh had just done the same thing without penalty on the other end.

There’s the Cal we know and love.
