Nine Hogs recorded steals and Billy Richmond didn’t miss a shot as Arkansas finished its exhibition slate without a loss.
Razorbacks freshman Jordan Smith Jr. is chasing a national point guard trophy that two John Calipari guards have already won.
With this many freshmen, Arkansas fans should get used to new names taking big shots. Davion Thompson was the first.
illy Richmond scored 17 and a 17-year-old freshman hit the late 3-pointer as the Hogs rallied past No. 15 Gonzaga.
John Calipari’s young Razorbacks host Mark Few’s Gonzaga at Bud Walton Arena on Saturday. Here’s how to watch and listen.
Last year’s Razorbacks got pushed around inside. Saturday’s exhibition with ranked Gonzaga shows whether these bigs can finally push back.
John Calipari and Mark Few swapped plays before Saturday’s warmup in Fayetteville and score won’t count, but the players will.
The Hogs have 11 players on NBA rosters this fall, and John Calipari’s 27 former players top every active coach.
The Hogs landing at No. 12 surprised nobody. What matters is how this young roster looks in March, not Saturday.
Two special sessions in just two weeks produced one extension and Razorbacks fans shouldn’t write off what happened behind closed doors.
