Impact Despite scoring inefficiently, Council finished the Razorbacks' latest game with their second-best point tally, only worse than 25 from Davonte Davis. Council's output was instrumental in helping them defeat the reigning champions. Council will look to be a beneficial piece yet again when the Razorbacks compete against Connecticut in the Sweet Sixteen on Thursday.

Logs 15 points, seven rebounds Council logged 15 points (6-10 FG, 0-1 3Pt, 3-4 FT), seven rebounds and one assist over 33 minutes during Saturday's 84-65 victory over Florida.
Impact Council is expected to continue being a substitute now that the Razorbacks have Nick Smith, their top recruit from 2022, available again. Even so, Council's demotion should not prevent him from being a valued fantasy option. The junior's latest log indicates how well a scorer and rebounder he can be, whether he is a supplementary option or a primary one for Arkansas' bench unit.

Impact Council unexpectedly shifted out of the starting unit for the first time all season against Alabama but will be granted his spot back Saturday over Jordan Walsh, who turned in just two points Wednesday and will move to the bench for the first time since the season opener.
