The Arkansas Razorbacks 16-11 (5-9 SEC) will clash with their bitter rivals, the Texas Longhorns 16-11 (5-9 SEC), tonight in Bud Walton Arena in Fayetteville. Arkansas defeated Texas 78-70 in their previous game this season in Austin. However, this contest has some new factors that make it different from the game in Austin.

According to ESPN BET Sportsbook, the Texas Longhorns are 2.5-point underdogs against the Arkansas Razorbacks in Bud Walton Arena. Also, according to ESPN Analytics, the Razorbacks have a 55.8% chance of defeating the Longhorns. Given that Texas and Arkansas are both NCAA Tournament "bubble teams," this game is even more important than their first game, especially for the Razorbacks. The Hogs must defend their home court tonight.


Before we watch this crucial SEC contest between the Longhorns and the Razorbacks, we must know which players are unavailable to play due to injuries.

Arkansas basketball vs. Texas Injury Report

Texas Longhorns

According to the "SEC Student-Athlete Availability Report," the Texas Longhorns will be without their junior guard, Chendall Weaver. In the three games he played in this season, according to ESPN, he averaged 6.7 points, 5.1 rebounds, and 1.5 assists and shot 51.4% from the field.

Arkansas Razorbacks

The Arkansas Razorbacks continue to confront missing its star freshman guard, Boogie Fland, for the rest of the season; he had season-ending surgery. Fland is the Hogs' second-leading scorer and the team's leader in assists. Unfortunately, the Razorbacks must battle the Longhorns tonight without their leader in scoring, rebounds, steals, and field goal shooting percentage: Adou Thiero. Thiero's absence will have a significant impact on tonight's game. The Arkansas men's basketball X/Twitter account reveals Thiero "suffered a hyperextension to his left knee in the second half of the Missouri game (Feb. 22)...Surgery is not expected. There is no timetable for his return."
