The Arkansas Razorbacks will meet Carleton University in a BahaMar Summer League exhibition game on Saturday evening in Nassau, Bahamas, with tip‑off scheduled for 5 p.m. Central time. The matchup will be broadcast live on FloSports, where commentators Chris Sylvester and Matt Zimmerman will provide play‑by‑play analysis.
This contest marks the second game of Arkansas’ four‑game tour of the Bahamas, following a dominant 106‑59 victory over the host nation’s select team on Friday. It is the first time the Razorbacks have played on foreign soil under head coach John Calipari, who previously guided Kentucky on five overseas excursions.
A Milestone Foreign Trip
Carleton, the reigning Canadian national champion, arrives in Nassau with a storied pedigree. Under former coach Dave Smart, the university has captured 13 Canadian titles, and its current squad still bears the imprint of that dynasty.
The Razorbacks will be without several key pieces for the Nassau leg of the tour. Freshman forward Miikka Muurinen is sidelined pending NCAA eligibility clearance, while guard Isaiah Sealy remains out with a knee injury and veteran Paolo Semedo did not take part in the recent open practice.
Coach Calipari will not be on the sideline for the Bahamas games; instead, assistants Kenny Payne and Chin Coleman will share coaching duties. The team enters the new season boasting the nation’s No. 1 recruiting class, a mix of eight freshmen and two transfers.
The exhibition serves as a valuable test for both programs as they fine‑tune preparations for their respective campaigns. For Arkansas, the foreign trip underscores a new NCAA rule that permits summer foreign tours each year, while Carleton looks to translate its Canadian success onto an international stage.
