FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (AP) - Sonny Weems, Arkansas' leading scorer, hurt his knee at practice but is not expected to miss the Razorbacks' first-round NCAA tournament game against Indiana.

"He may not practice again later today," coach John Pelphrey said between practice sessions Tuesday. "But I do not anticipate that keeping him out."

Weems, a senior swingman, is averaging 14.3 points per game this season.

Eighth-seeded Arkansas (22-11) will face No. 8 seed Indiana (25-7) in an East Region game Friday night in Raleigh, N.C.
