From @DanielFair:
The Arkansas Razorbacks (16-11, 5-9) are set to host the Texas Longhorns (16-11, 5-9 SEC) at Bud Walton Arena on Wednesday night.
This is the second home game in a row for the Razorbacks, who overcame a seven-point halftime deficit to beat the Missouri Tigers last Saturday, 92-85. The Longhorns were losers in their last time out, as they dropped a road game, 84-69, at South Carolina.
Wednesday's game will also be the second between the Hogs and the Horns this season. Arkansas took home a 78-70 win over Texas on Feb. 5 at the Moody Center in Austin.
In that game, former Razorback Tramon Mark was held scoreless for the Longhorns, and Arkansas assistant coach Chuck Martin said they know how dangerous he can be with the ball in his hands.
"We got to be aware of him in transition, got to be aware of him, make sure that he doesn't get any open looks, as long as they're contested," Martin said Tuesday. "And we got high hands early, because he's very capable man. He's been around the block and he can score the ball in so many different ways. He's dangerous. So we're conscious of him. We're fully aware when he's on the court."
Arkansas will be without its best player against Texas, as forward Adou Thiero is listed as "out" according to the SEC Availability Report released Tuesday night. He left the Missouri game with a little over six minutes left because of what head coach John Calipari said Monday were back problems.
Freshman forward Karter Knox was also listed on the availability report with a designation of "probable."
