Arkansas basketball scored a win over Carleton University in an exhibition matchup from the Bahamas on Saturday, beating the Canadian national champs 99-58 in their second straight win. Arkansas downed the Bahamas national team on Friday, 106-59.
5-star freshman Jordan Smith Jr. was the star of the show for the Razorbacks on Saturday. He dropped a triple-double, scoring 21 points with 11 assists and 11 rebounds. He wasn’t the leading scorer for Arkansas though; that distinction goes to Georgia transfer Jeremiah Wilkinson, who scored a game-high 26 points.
Arkansas is set to play 2 more games in the Bahamas, on Monday against Toros De Valle and Tuesday against the University of Calgary.
It wasn’t a fantastic start for the Razorbacks on Saturday, but Arkansas finished very strong. Arkansas led by 25 points and halftime and cruised to a 41-point win.
Smith was much more efficient on Saturday than he was on Friday. He hit 9 of his 14 shots including 2 of his 3 attempts from range, and a good chunk of that scoring was posted in the first half, including the first bucket of the game.
