The Arkansas women’s basketball team passed its first of three overseas tour tests in Croatia and Greece with incredible ease.
Emrie Ellis had 19 points and 6 rebounds and Saylor Poffenbarger 18 points, 10 boards and 5 assists as the Razorbacks jumped to a 29-0 lead and went on to crush the InCrotia AllStars 124-12 Monday in Split, Croatia.
Arkansas forced 38 turnovers with 26 of them coming via steals and ended the game on a 23-0 spree while blanking its foe in the final quarter.
“It was not 40 Minutes of Hell yet, but 20 minutes I thought was pretty good of our press,” Arkansas head coach Mike Neighbors said. “I thought it really set the tone for the rest of the game. It is something that we have talked about all summer long adding and it really just sets the tone for the rest of the game.
“Even when we didn’t press (after the first quarter), it really set the tone of this mentality.”
