Freshman Arkansas guard Anthony Black is on track to play against Connecticut in the Sweet Sixteen tonight. There was concern over a foot injury for Black, but according to college hoops insider Jon Rothstein, the star rookie is expected to suit up and give it a go against the Huskies. <\/p>\n
Here was Rothstein\u2019s report<\/a>, which he tweeted: <\/p>\n \u201cArkansas\u2019 Anthony Black (foot) is expected to play in tonight\u2019s Sweet 16 game against UConn, per a school spokesman. Averages 12.6 PPG, 5.1 RPG, and 4 APG.\u201d<\/p>\n Black took over point guard duties for the most part this season and is the team\u2019s second-leading scorer and also its best perimeter defender. This Arkansas team lacked guards even before Nick Smith went down for a lot of the year, and Eric Musselman has just had to play Davonte Davis<\/a><\/strong> and Anthony Black every minute possible. Those two each average more than 35 minutes per game this year, with Black leading the way by a smidge. <\/p>\n He\u2019s a crucial player for the Razorbacks and needs to play for the Hogs to feel good about their chances. <\/p>\n The post Arkansas\u2019 Anthony Black expected to play vs. UConn, despite foot injury<\/a> appeared first on On3<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Freshman Arkansas guard Anthony Black is on track to play against Connecticut in the Sweet…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-957","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/demo.wztzfm.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/957","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/demo.wztzfm.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/demo.wztzfm.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/demo.wztzfm.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=957"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/demo.wztzfm.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/957\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/demo.wztzfm.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=957"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/demo.wztzfm.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=957"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/demo.wztzfm.com\/wp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=957"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
