Anthony Black - College Basketball News & Rumors

Good to go Thursday Black is in the starting lineup for Thursday's game against UConn, Mason Choate of Arkansas Rivals reports.

Impact Black was listed as questionable to play leading up to Thursday's matchup due to a foot concern, but it's since been revealed that he'll command his usual spot in the Razorbacks' starting five versus the Huskies. Across the first two rounds of the NCAA Tournament, the 6-foot-7 guard is averaging eight points, five rebounds and two steals per contest.

Expected to play against UConn Black (foot) is expected to play against Connecticut on Thursday, per Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports.

Impact An improvement from his previous status, Black's availability is now probable more than questionable. The news is unsurprising, considering he participated in Arkansas' first two games of March Madness 2023 despite similar problems before each matchup. Without any lingering effects, Black logged 16 points and four steals across the two games.

Questionable against Connecticut Black (foot) is questionable before Arkansas' game Thursday against Connecticut, according to Andrew Quinn of KREM 2 News.

Impact Black was a full participant in Arkansas' practice Wednesday, but he was seen both moving gingerly on his left foot and wearing a walking boot. But before their upcoming game, both he and the team have just a little under 10 hours, which could be enough for him to be an active participant Thursday. Like they were against Kansas, the No. 8 Razorbacks remain an underdog heading into their matchup against No. 4 Connecticut.

Wearing boot but expected to play Black was seen wearing a boot on his left foot following Arkansas' game Saturday against Kansas, according to Jordan Guskey of The Topeka Capital-Journal.

Impact Black entered the NCAA Tournament with a minor foot injury, so it is unsurprising it continues to flare up. Yet, he is probable as the Razorbacks are scheduled to play against either No. 5 Saint Mary's or No. 4 Connecticut on Thursday. After all, despite the lingering foot injury, Black still logged 72 minutes across Arkansas' first two games of the 2023 NCAA Tournament.

MARCH 19, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Available against Illinois Black will be available during Arkansas' game Thursday against Illinois, according to Mason Choate of Rivals.com.

Impact Black had been dealing with ankle/foot problems in between Arkansas' latest and upcoming games. Fortunately for the Razorbacks, it does not seem that will affect his availability when they play against No. 8 Illinois in both teams' first-round matchup of the 2023 NCAA Tournament.

Eight dimes against UGA Black closed with 10 points (5-7 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 0-2 FT), four rebounds, eight assists and two steals across 31 minutes during Tuesday's 97-65 win over Georgia.

Impact With freshman sensation Nick Smith back in the fold and occupying a starting backcourt spot, Black has taken on more of a distributing role, averaging 6.0 apg over his last four (while scoring nine-plus points still in each of those efforts). Even with his shot volume potentially decreasing, Black remains one of the most steady fantasy options the Razorbacks have to offer.

Consistent despite team struggles Black provided 17 points (7-17 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-6 FT), three rebounds, eight assists and five steals in 37 minutes during Saturday's 69-57 victory over Ole Miss.

Impact Black's all-around contributions continue to shine despite the team going on a four-game losing streak in conference play that nearly resulted in them falling out of the top-25 rankings. Over his last three games in particular, Black has averaged 16.7 points, 6.0 assists and 5.7 rebounds, plus a solid 2.3 steals. With point guard Nick Smith sidelined by a knee injury, Black is seeing more opportunities to facilitate, as he's racked up 15 assists in his last two contests alone. On the season, the 6-7 freshman is averaging 12.7 ppg -- good for second on the team among players who have appeared in 10 or more games and trailing only Ricky Council (17.2 ppg).

Sixth time in double digits Black ended Tuesday's 65-58 victory over UNCG with 11 points (4-8 FG, 2-4 3Pt, 1-3 FT), five rebounds, two assists and one block across 33 minutes.

Impact The freshman scored in double figures for a sixth time this year. Black is averaging a solid 13.1 points to begin the season.

Scores 26 on back-to-back days Black finished Tuesday's 90-87 loss to Creighton with 26 points (10-18 FG, 1-3 3Pt, 5-7 FT), six rebounds, six assists and two steals across 38 minutes.

Impact Black is off to a scorching start to the Maui Invitational, as he's collected exactly 26 points on back-to-back days, shooting 19-for-29 from the field over that stretch. It's particularly impressive given he scored just 18 points over his first three games combined, though he was dealing with an ankle injury then and may not have been at 100 percent. Perhaps it's the tropical air, but the five-star freshman clearly seems to be hitting his stride. Black and the Razorbacks will cap things off Wednesday against San Diego State.

Starting as expected Black (ankle) is in the starting lineup for Friday's game against Fordham.

Impact Black apparently picked up an ankle injury in the season opening win over North Dakota State. The 6-7 freshman was still able to compile 30 minutes on the floor, though he went just 1-of-7 shooting. Black figures to remain heavily involved once again and will look to improve his shooting accuracy after struggling in the opener.

Plays through ankle issue Black produced three points (1-7 FG, 1-2 FT), seven rebounds, three assists, one block and three steals across 30 minutes during Monday's 76-58 victory over North Dakota State.

Impact Black's collegiate debut didn't feature any eye-popping stats for the five-star freshman, but it is worth noting that he had to briefly exit the game due to an ankle injury. He ended up returning to the contest and expects to be fine for Friday's tilt against Fordham, but it wouldn't be a bad idea to confirm his status prior to tip-off.

Leading distributor in scrimmage Black had six points (3-4 FG, 0-1 FT), five assists, three rebounds and two steals across 22 minutes in Monday's 83-49 exhibition victory over Rogers State.

Impact Black is one of three five-star freshman in a loaded Arkansas recruiting class, and if Monday's starting five is any indication of what's to come, he appears to be a frontrunner for a starting role. If that holds up through exhibition play, Black will work in tandem alongside consensus top-5 recruit Nick Smith in the backcourt, with both options displaying the ability to score and distribute in bunches.
