FAYETTEVILLE — Au’Diese Toney was sick and tired of losing to West Virginia.
Toney, a senior transfer for the University of Arkansas, was 0-2 against the Mountaineers when he played for Pittsburgh and shot 2 of 9 from the field with seven points.
So Toney understandably had some extra motivation going into the Razorbacks’ matchup against West Virginia on Saturday in the Big 12/SEC Challenge.
“This was a statement game,” Toney said. “To be 0-2 when I was at Pitt, it felt real good to come join these guys and actually beat down on them.”
Along with his new Arkansas teammates, Toney enjoyed the Razorbacks’ 77-68 victory over West Virginia at Walton Arena.
