Takeaways from Arkansas Basketball's Hot Springs Tip-Off Tour Scrimmage
Arkansas men's basketball coach John Calipari brought his team to Hot Springs as part of the Tip-Off Tour, a mission to engage with the rest of the state.
Last season, the Razorbacks visited Hot Springs and Pine Bluff, but were not healthy enough to scrimmage. This time, only Karim Rtail was unavailable.
“It’s good because we need to play against [Cincinnati and Memphis in exhibitions],” Calipari said. “They did some good stuff.”
The scrimmage marked the first time the team played in front of a crowd, outside of an uncompetitive scrimmage at Primetime at the Palace on Oct. 3.
“It was fun, just getting out and exploring Arkansas a little more,” forward Malique Ewin said. “Just playing with each other, that’s it.”
