FAYETTEVILLE — The No. 16 Arkansas Razorbacks took Nolan Richardson Court inside Bud Walton Arena for the first time this preseason Friday evening, as they earned an 85-69 victory over the No. 1 Kansas Jayhawks in a charity exhibition matchup.

Despite missing Preseason All-SEC Second Team center Jonas Aidoo, the Hoop Hogs hounded Kansas defensively all night. The Jayhawks — who were without center Hunter Dickinson, guard Shakeel Moore and wing Rylan Griffen — commiitted 17 turnovers and shot 29-of-64 from the field.

Conversation around Arkansas leading into this game was how head coach John Calipari’s star talent would perform and mesh. Well, let’s just say the Razorbacks have something special in the backcourt duo of former Kentucky transfer DJ Wagner and freshman Boogie Fland. The duo combined for 46 points, five assists and seven steals on 16-of-27 shooting.

7-foot-2 Arkansas big man Zvonimir Ivisic put up a quietly impressive 18-point, 6-rebound, 4-assist stat line, and former Florida Atlantic transfer guard Johnell Davis scored five points on nine attempts.
