Arkansas Razorbacks Gear Up for BahaMar Summer League Showdown in the Bahamas

John Calipari’s squad aims to extend preseason momentum as they face Colombian champions Toros del Valle

Arkansas is set to play its third exhibition game of the BahaMar Summer League series in Nassau, Bahamas, on Monday at 5 p.m. Central. The Razorbacks will face the Colombian powerhouse Toros del Valle, a matchup that will be streamed live on FloSports, with Amazon Prime subscribers able to watch through the FloSports channel.

A New Chapter for the Razorbacks

The team arrives after back‑to‑back victories over the Bahamas national squad and Carleton University, winning 106‑59 and 98‑58 respectively. Those performances have helped the Razorbacks maintain a strong preseason rhythm as they prepare for the upcoming regular season.

Toros del Valle enter the game as reigning champions of the Colombian Baloncesto Apertura, having captured the title by defeating Los Paisas de Medellín in a best‑of‑five series. Their experience and depth present a formidable test for Arkansas, which is navigating a roster in flux.

Coach John Calipari will not be on the sidelines for the Bahamian leg; instead, his staff will handle game‑day duties. The absence of 5‑star freshman forward Miikka Muurinen, still awaiting NCAA eligibility clearance, and the sidelined Isaiah Sealy, who is recovering from a knee injury, adds uncertainty to the lineup. Paolo Semedo also missed Thursday’s open practice.

Arkansas enters the season with the nation’s top recruiting class, a blend of eight freshmen and two transfers, underscoring the program’s aggressive rebuilding strategy under Calipari. The foreign trip to the Bahamas marks the first time the Razorbacks have played on international soil under his leadership, a milestone made possible by a recent NCAA rule change that permits summer foreign tours.

Fans can follow the action through FloSports, which requires a subscription, while Amazon Prime members can access the stream via the FloSports channel. The broadcast arrangement highlights the growing partnership between college programs and over‑the‑top platforms.
