Arkansas' starting lineup: JD Notae, Davonte Davis, Au'Diese Toney, Jaylin Williams and Connor Vanover.
Toney, the 6-6 wing transfer from Pittsburgh, is coming off an MVP showing in the Hall of Fame Classic in Kansas City earlier this week. He grabbed a career-high 6 offensive rebounds in the win over Kansas State, then matched it with 6 more against Cincinnati on Tuesday. He averaged 16 points and 9 rebounds over the 2 games.
It will be interesting to see if Notae can get back to playing better ball. Eric Musselman said Tuesday the guard had been sick for 3 days, which may have contributed to his 8 of 34 shooting effort in Kansas City.
