Dave Van Horn will miss Arkansas' opening game at the SEC Tournament in Hoover, Ala. due to an undisclosed illness, the Arkansas Athletics Department announced less than an hour before first pitch.

"He is not feeling well, but is resting comfortably," according to a statement posted on social media.

The No. 3 seed Razorbacks are set to face No. 11 seed Alabama, a rematch of a difficult weekend series four days ago in Tuscaloosa.

Pitching Coach Matt Hobbs and Hitting Coach Nate Thompson are set to split managerial duties in Van Horn's absence, according to multiple reports.
