The Arkansas Razorbacks will meet Toros del Valle in a summer exhibition on August 3 at 5 p.m. CT, a matchup that pits the U.S. college powerhouse against the reigning Liga WPlay de Baloncesto champions.
Arkansas arrives after dominant displays in the Baha Mar Summer League, where they routed The Bahamas by 47 points and dismantled Canada’s Carleton University by 40. Freshman point guard Jordan Smith Jr. has been the catalyst, averaging 21 points, 8.5 assists and 7.5 rebounds, and he logged a triple‑double in the victory over Carleton.
Toros del Valle, based in Cali, Colombia, have established themselves as the premier team in Colombian basketball, capturing the league title in 2026. Their style blends disciplined defense with a fast‑break offense that has made them a fixture on the South American circuit.
A trans‑Atlantic test
The game will be streamed exclusively on FloSports, with veteran voices Chris Sylvester and Matt Zimmerman providing commentary. No traditional television broadcast will be available, underscoring the growing role of digital platforms in sports distribution.
For both programs, the exhibition offers a chance to test strategies ahead of the upcoming season. Arkansas hopes to translate its collegiate chemistry into a professional environment, while Toros del Valle will use the encounter to gauge its competitiveness against a different style of play.
