Jones 'more engaged' in final exhibition

FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas sophomore guard Mason Jones walked through the Bud Walton Arena press conference room door for the first time with a smile on his face and a smoothie in his hand.

"This smoothie is amazing," Jones said laughing. "It's something (our nutrition lady) gives us, so I just drink it after games."

As for the smile, he had plenty of reason to wear one after helping the Razorbacks cap their preseason schedule with a 100-63 exhibition win over Southwest Baptist. Jones finished with 17 points and was one of four Razorbacks players to score in double figures in the win – Isaiah Joe 19, Daniel Gafford 17, Keyshawn Embery-Simpson 11.
