Seeing Coach Calipari in Arkansas red will never not feel weird for Big Blue Nation.

During his time in Lexington coaching the Kentucky Wildcats, John Calipari put a ton of players in the NBA, and a good amount of those players are some of the best in the league.

Now, some of these former Wildcats will have to decide if they are going to root for Arkansas now that their former head coach is there instead of Lexington, and one former Wildcat has already made that decision.

Malik Monk recently tweeted, "Yall gone see me in Bud Walton."He also added some laughing emojis and shoulder-shrugging emojis. Bud Walton is, of course, the home gym of the Arkansas Razorbacks, which is one of the best atmospheres in the SEC.

These former Wildcats who played under Calipari will all support him at all stops in his coaching career, but there is no question they all still bleed blue.

When it comes to Monk in the NBA this season, he is having an excellent year for the Sacramento Kings, playing alongside De'Aaron Fox.

Monk is currently the favorite in Vegas to win the NBA's Sixth Man of the Year Award, as his odds are -165, and he is barely ahead of Naz Reid, whose odds are +120.

On the season, Monk is averaging 15.4 points, 2.9 rebounds, 5.1 assists, and shooting 35% from three for the Kings, who are looking to make a deep run in the NBA playoffs.

Seeing former Wildcats rooting for Arkansas will be very weird for Big Blue Nation.
