Reed Sheppard wears Arkansas shirt, Kentucky shorts to support John Calipari

John Calipari returning to Rupp Arena as the Arkansas head coach has led to some confusion within the Kentucky fanbase. Many are expected to boo Calipari while others will show support ahead of Saturday night’s matchup. Former players are now even getting involved, with Reed Sheppard being the latest.

Sheppard is scheduled to play the Brooklyn Nets tonight with the Houston Rockets. His pregame outfit consisted of an Arkansas shirt and Kentucky shorts. A nice half-and-half look for the former Wildcat.

Many who played for Kentucky under Calipari have a strong connection with the head coach, even if they only stayed for a year. Sheppard is clearly one of them as he is willing to wear an Arkansas shirt on the day they face off against Kentucky. A big statement from last season’s superstar.
