Impact Senior Day is over for the Tigers, and they will move on to tournament games, beginning with Thursday's matchup.

Unannounced DNP Wednesday Ward (undisclosed) did not take the court in Wednesday's 68-66 loss to Georgia.

Impact Ward's absence perfectly exemplifies the risk of college fantasy sports, as this is a player who had double-digit scoring for three consecutive games leading up to Wednesday, but the program utterly failed to provide any disclosure about a pending absence Wednesday.

The uncertainty surrounding Ward's unexpected DNP makes him a risky fantasy option heading into Saturday's matchup at Alabama.
