Arkansas 112, Longwood 63: BJ Young returned from a two-game suspension to score 23 points and the host Razorbacks took control in the first half in their blowout home victory.

Young, who had been suspended for receiving impermissible benefits, scored 16 points in the first half as Arkansas (2-0) bolted to a 55-34 lead at the break in its first game in nine days.

Marshawn Powell and Antlon Bell added 16 points for the Razorbacks, who had struggled to a five-point victory in their season opener against Sam Houston State.

Freshman forward Michael Kessens had his second straight double-double with 17 points and 11 rebounds for the Lancers (0-3), who have lost their first three game by an average margin of 31.7 points.

Arkansas quickly removed any suspense from the outcome. Bell came off the bench to bury a pair of 3-pointers in a 12-0 run to push the lead to 26-10 midway through the half and the Razorbacks gradually pulled away.
