Arkansas (4-0) got a quick jump on Lipscomb, which was the preseason favorite to win the ASUN Conference. After building a 46-24 lead by halftime, the Razorbacks scored the first 10 points of the second half to effectively seal the Bisons' fate.
Arkansas shot 50 percent for the game, including 32.4 percent (11 of 34) from 3-point range. They hit six of their first eight from long range to build their early lead.
The Bisons shot only 25.4 percent from the floor, including 23.8 percent (5 of 21) from behind the arc.
Arkansas scored the game's first eight points, including two 3-pointers by Vanover.
After a layup from Asadullah got Lipscomb on the board, the Razorbacks rattled off 12 consecutive points. This time, Moody hit two treys, and Desi Sills connected from long range during the surge.
The lead crossed 20 points when Vance Jackson hit two free throws to make it 35-14 with 6:21 left in the half. The Razorbacks extended the gap to 24 points later in the half and led 46-24 at the break.
Ten Arkansas players scored in the first half, and Moody led the way with 10. Asadullah was among three players with four points apiece to lead the Bisons.
The Razorbacks' biggest lead was 42 points, 77-35, on a 3-pointer by Notae with 6:30 left in the game.
The Razorbacks are scheduled to travel to Tulsa on Tuesday. The Bisons will need to regroup quickly, as they remain on the road to face Southeast Missouri State on Monday.
