Arkansas Razorbacks DFS Snapshot
Au’Diese Toney (undisclosed) is “nowhere near ready (to play)” but will travel with the team to the SEC Tournament, Kevin McPherson of Hogville.net reports. The senior missed the Razorbacks’ season finale against Tennessee with an undisclosed injury, and his absence from the lineup will likely continue into the SEC Tournament. Despite being able to travel with the team, coach Eric Musselman also stated that Toney is in a walking boot. It remains unclear, though, if Toney will be able to play in the SEC Tournament.
