That impressive highlight dunk was by Trevon Brazile, a 6'10" sophomore who transferred from Missouri, where he played his freshman season mostly as a starter. He averaged 6.6 ppg and 5.1 rpg, and was 6th in the country with 1.92 blocks per game. He started their game today and was the leading scorer with 28 points on 13-15 shooting (his only 2 misses were 3-point attempts). He was not a starter in Saturday's game.
Brazile averaged 16.0 ppg for the 4 games.

Arkansas freshman Nick Smith, who was the leading scorer in 3 of the 4 games, averaged 15.5 ppg for the 4-game tour..
The box score does reveal some potential weaknesses-
They shot 3 for 13 from three today (23%), and they were 3 for 11 in Saturday's game. That is just 25% (6-24) from three in their final 2 games, the only two for which box scores were posted. So perimeter shooting could be a weakness for them (see video below where the coach expresses concern about that issue)..
They were also turnover prone. They had an unbelievable 30 turnovers in today's 4th game, 20 turnovers in Saturday's 3rd game, and 23 turnovers in Thursday's 2nd game. Those were the only 3 games in which they listed their turnover stats. That is an average of 24.3 turnovers per game.
And, in the post-game video of the coach below, he says they had "maybe 100 turnovers in the 4 games", so the first game apparently was no different.
For reference, the worst team in the MVC last year was Illinois State with an average of 13.8 turnovers per game. The worst team in the entire NCAA Division I last year was Prairie View A&M with 17.7 turnovers per game.
In this video post-game interview with head coach Eric Musselman, he also voices concern about his teams turnover problem (a couple of his quotes- "the turnovers are ridiculous" and "words can't describe how concerned I am about our turnovers"), and poor three point shooting ("our three point shooting has got to improve").
