Long-time rivals Rick Pitino and John Calipari could face each other in the NCAA Tournament again if St. John's and Arkansas each reach the second round.

They could’ve figured a way to either drop Louisville to a No. 10 or push them to a No. 7, and thereby start a week of bile boiling in Louisville.

The No. 10 seed Arkansas Razorbacks will look to make loud noises in the upcoming 2025 NCAA Tournament, with one of the most experienced March Madness coaches ever calling the shots from the sidelines.
