The Arkansas Razorbacks responded to their first setback of the season with an emphatic statement, rolling past Central Arkansas 93–56 on Tuesday night in Fayetteville. Led by their dynamic freshman backcourt of Darius Acuff and Meleek Thomas, the Razorbacks looked every bit the part of a team determined to get back on track.
Acuff paced Arkansas with a game-high 21 points, adding 4 rebounds and 6 assists in a performance that showcased his growing command of the offense. Thomas was right behind him, contributing 17 points, 6 rebounds, and 6 assists, continuing to display the all-around versatility that has made him one of the early standouts of the season.
