No guarantee, of course, that freshman guard Jason Henry will play tonight against No. 7 Texas. But, according to Razorback radio play-by-play man Mike Nail, Henry has been cleared by UA’s training staff to play.

Nail said Arkansas coach John Pelphrey told him on the radio’s pre-game show that Henry was ‘85 percent’ healthy. Henry had arthroscopic knee surgery performed on his right knee on Dec. 29, missed the Northwestern State, Oklahoma and North Texas games and returned to practice on Sunday.

Also, Texas senior forward Connor Atchley won’t play tonight. He split his tongue in the Longhorns’ win Friday against Appalachian State, and I saw him in street clothes just now as his teammates warmed up. The Longhorns will start three guards, like the Razorbacks, going with 6-2 freshman Varez Ward, a high school and prep school teammate of Arkansas’ Courtney Fortson.

Other than that, former Arkansas coach Eddie Sutton will be in attendance tonight, his first game as a spectator at Bud Walton Arena, according to a local radio interview a couple of hours ago. Sutton apparently talked to the Razorbacks earlier today.

Half-hour until game time, and the arena is filling up fast … we’ll keep you updated as the game progresses …
