Arkansas 78, SWOSU 51 - FINAL

Mason Jones scored a game-high 22 points and Adrio Bailey added 15 points as the Razorbacks closed out preseason play in style. Desi Sills (10), Jimmy Whitt (10) and Reggie Chaney (12) also finished in double figures. Chaney was one rebound shy of a double-double.

We will have much more from tonight's exhibition a little bit later on WholeHogSports.com.

Arkansas 73, SWOSU 49 - 3:49 left

The Razorbacks have just one bucket since the 8:28 mark of the second half, but are using the final 10 minutes to get guys like Ethan Henderson and Emeka Obukwelu some time. Henderson did not look great in his seven minutes, missing a layup and wide-open dunk. He does, though, have four rebounds.

Jeantal Cylla will be at the line when play resumes. He was fouled driving baseline prior to the final media timeout of the night.

Arkansas 70, SWOSU 40 - 7:47 left

The Razorbacks have put their foot down and raced to a 30-point lead more than midway through the second half. Jones remains the Razorbacks' leading scorer with 22 and Bailey has 15.

Reggie Chaney has been very active the last few minutes. He is flirting with a double-double with eight points and six rebounds. His touch at the free throw line has been impressive. He's 4 of 4 there tonight.

Only two turnovers for the Razorbacks in the second half after 14 before the break.

Arkansas 62, SWOSU 38 - 11:12 left

In the span of 37 seconds, Mason Jones added a layup off a baseline out of bounds play, and Desi Sills finished a pair of fast break layups. Sills is up to nine points while Jones has a game-high 22.

The Razorbacks now have their largest lead of the night and are on cruise control.

Arkansas 56, SWOSU 38 - 11:49 left

Jones and Bailey continue to carry the Razorbacks offensively. The two have combined for 35 points on 14 of 16 from the floor. Bailey is a perfect 7 for 7 from the floor, and Jones is 7 of 9, including 4 of 6 from 3-point range.

Jimmy Whitt also has 10 points in the game. He has Arkansas' only bucket outside of Jones and Bailey since the break. Whitt is 1 of 5 in the half, though. He has had about three possessions in which he has attempted to make something happen late in the shot clock. Whitt has finished 4 of 6 attempts in the lane tonight.

Arkansas 48, SWOSU 32 - 15:57 left

It has been all Mason Jones and Adrio Bailey for the Razorbacks since halftime. Jones picked up where he left off in the first half and added a midrange jumper and his fourth 3 of the night to push Arkansas' lead to 18. He has a game-high 18 points on 7 of 8 shooting.

Bailey opened the second half with a bucket on a designed post up. He joins Jones in double figures with 11. He has been efficient in the preseason, getting all seven of his shots to fall.

Arkansas 40, SWOSU 27 - Halftime

Great first half from Mason Jones, who scored a game-high 13 points and added four rebounds and a pair of assists. He scored the final five points for the Razorbacks before the break. Adrio Bailey, Desi Sills and Jimmy Whitt each scored eight points as well.

Isaiah Joe did not score in the first half. He's 0 of 5 from the floor and 0 of 4 from distance, but he has grabbed three rebounds and handed out a pair of assists.

About the only gripe to this point has been Arkansas' turnovers. The Razorbacks turned the ball over 12 times, and Jalen Harris has a team-high three. After Bailey traveled following a defensive rebound, Eric Musselman leaned back in his seat on the bench and crossed his left leg over his right. He was disgusted. That, surely, will be a point of emphasis in the halftime locker room.

The Bulldogs finished the half with 14 turnovers.

Arkansas 31, SWOSU 18 - 3:44 left first half

After the Bulldogs pulled within 22-16, the Razorbacks responded with a 9-0 run and got scores from four different players. Whitt and Jones added layups, Sills knocked down a right-corner 3 and Bailey had a dunk. Arkansas had the crowd pretty lively after Bailey's dunk, but SWOSU ended the run with a layup.

The Razorbacks are ahead comfortably and Isaiah Joe has not scored yet. He is 0 of 5 from the floor and 0 of 4 from deep so far. Whitt and Sills lead with eight points apiece.

Arkansas 24, SWOSU 16 - 7:43 left first half

The Razorbacks are in control of this one, but the Bulldogs are making enough shots to hang around. Arkansas has also missed some bunnies, including two on one fast break opportunity. Sills went flying and missed a left-handed layup and Chaney left the putback a bit short. The Razorbacks have missed three layups tonight.

Whitt leads all scorers with eight points and Sills has five for Arkansas, which is just 2 of 10 from 3-point range through the first 12-plus minutes. The teams have also combined for 17 turnovers, and the Razorbacks have seven.

Arkansas 18, SWOSU 11 - 11:48 left first half

The Bulldogs, after falling behind by six at the first media timeout, scored six quick points to knot the game at 11, but Arkansas answered with seven straight of its own. Mason Jones knocked down a 3 from the left wing, Sills drove into the lane and got a floater to go off glass, and Reggie Chaney called for the ball on a post up, spun and dunked with two hands.

The Razorbacks have played a lot of 4 out, 1 in on the offensive end tonight, and driving lanes have been open. As have post-up opportunities. Arkansas has scored on both post-up chances tonight - Whitt, Chaney.

Arkansas 11, SWOSU 5 - 16:31 left first half

The Razorbacks are off to a great start offensively. Jimmy Whitt has a team-high six points on a midrange jumper, floater in the lane and layup off a perfectly executed sideline out of bounds play.

Desi Sills also knocked down a right-corner 3, and Adrio Bailey sunk a long 2 in front of the SWOSU bench. Mason Jones assisted on both. Razorbacks have four assists on five buckets in the early going. Four turnovers for the Bulldogs as well.

Pregame

Arkansas' starting lineup: Isaiah Joe, Desi Sills, Mason Jones, Jimmy Whitt and Adrio Bailey. Jones, who had an inefficient first exhibition game against Arkansas-Little Rock last Sunday, replaces grad transfer forward Jeantal Cylla in the lineup tonight.

Southwestern Oklahoma State's starters: Dominique Primer, Bralyn James, Damion Thornton, Anthony Love, Jaylan Williams.
