New Arkansas coach John Calipari acknowledged Wednesday that it will take a new 'formula' to win in the NCAA tournament after a string of recent postseason failures at Kentucky, explaining, 'The lesson was you can't do this now with seven freshmen.'

John Calipari speaks to the Razorback faithful after being introduced as the new head coach of the Arkansas men's basketball team.

"The lesson was you can't do this now with seven freshmen," he said."You just can't. You're going to hit a team that's 25 years old on average, one was 26, and that team is physically going to get you, and so now we have a couple transfers that are older, some kids that transferred from Kentucky that went through it, and they're a year older, and some freshmen.

"We're not going to take six, seven freshmen now," Calipari said."It'll be three or four. Hopefully retain a few, get a couple transfers, and that is the formula."
