Sixth-ranked Kentucky is out to avoid sliding to a third consecutive road loss when it visits Arkansas on Saturday in Southeastern Conference play at Fayetteville, Ark.
The Wildcats (14-4, 4-2 SEC) lost to Texas A&M 97-92 in overtime on Jan. 13 and were whipped 79-62 by South Carolina on Tuesday.
Kentucky tries to get back on the winning track against the Razorbacks (10-9, 1-5), who have dropped five of their past six games.
Kentucky coach John Calipari sees the past four games — the Wildcats also won two home games — as a mini-funk and nothing to be significantly concerned about.
“I wouldn’t want to be coaching any other team,” Calipari said. “I love this team. We’re a little young, not fragile, but just not mooses. But so what? Our length the way we shoot it, pass it. … I believe in this team. I believe in every individual. Let’s go.”
The 62 points against South Carolina was a season low for Kentucky. Three days earlier, the Wildcats scored 105 in a nine-point home win over Georgia.
