Saturday’s March Madness game between No. 10 Arkansas and No. 2 St. John’s was a battle between two of the biggest coaching personalities in the sport: John Calipari and Rick Pitino.

After a hard-fought 40 minutes of basketball, it was Calipari and the Razorbacks that came out on top, clawing their way to a 75–66 victory to punch their ticket to the Sweet 16.
