Arkansas Basketball's Hot Springs Tip-Off Tour Scrimmage

Arkansas men's basketball coach John Calipari brought his team to Hot Springs as part of the Tip-Off Tour, a mission to engage with the rest of the state.

This scrimmage at Bank OZK Arena was the first time the team played in front of a crowd, aside from an uncompetitive scrimmage at Primetime at the Palace on Oct. 3.

"It's good because we need to play against [Cincinnati and Memphis in exhibitions],"

Calipari said. Forward Malique Ewin added,

"It was fun, just getting out and exploring Arkansas a little more... Just playing with each other, that's it."

The team was mostly healthy, with Karim Rtail being the only player unavailable.
