Arkansas reaches 85 points with 5:32 left - the magic number apparently. @RazorbackMBB is 54-0 all time in exhibition games when scoring at least 85 points - 27-11 when scoring below 85.
The 48 first-half points tonight ties for the most @RazorbackMBB has scored against an NCAA D1 team in an exhibition game (also 48 vs. Cincy last season).
Arkansas is 57-1 all time in BWA exhibition games that UA led at halftime, including 5-0 against NCAA D1 teams.
The 2026-27 @RazorbackMBB roster has 8 freshmen. If all 8 play, it'd tie with the 1978-79 team for the most freshmen to play for UA in a season.
2026-27:
Toure
Ourigou
Muurinen
Andrews
Maker
Thompson
Frolov
Smith
1978-79:
Hastings
Peterson
Brown
Friess
Scott
Craft
Bailey
Nash
Note: due to the new eligibility model for NCAA D1 athletes, Arkansas' Paulo Semedo is now listed as a sophomore, instead of as a redshirt freshman as he was earlier this offseason.
