Arkansas Razorbacks crush Bahamas, defeat Canadian champion Carleton in exhibition

The Arkansas Razorbacks opened their Baha Mar Summer League exhibition schedule with a 106‑59 victory over the Bahamas national team, using a 10‑man rotation to force 26 turnovers and record 13 blocks. The following night they faced Carleton University, the reigning Canadian college champion, and won 98‑58 (reported as 99‑58 in some outlets). Guard Jeremiah Wilkinson led Arkansas with 26 points, shooting 7‑of‑12 from the field and hitting five three‑pointers. Freshman forward Jordan Smith Jr. posted a triple‑double, scoring 21 points with 11 assists and 11 rebounds. Other contributors included JJ Andrews (17 points), Abdou Toure (15 points) and Caleb Ourigoou (10 points). Arkansas will continue the tour with games against Toros del Valle of Colombia and the University of Calgary.

Analysts noted that while the backcourt performed strongly, the frontcourt showed mixed results, with senior transfer Cooper Bowser and freshman Ilia Frolov yet to demonstrate consistent impact.
