Arkansas responded to the test of playing Samford and passed with flying colors, would a tougher mid-major be a more difficult game for the Hogs?
Not really.
Arkansas got off to a quick shooting start and beat Bucknell 101-73 behind a career high 27 points from Jaylen Barford. The Hogs started the game 7/9 from the field to build an early 24-11 lead and never looked back. The lead was built thanks to an early 17-3 run that was ignited by the defense. A couple of blocks by Adrio Bailey led to transition baskets for the Hogs.
