Tolefree not selected in WNBA draft

Former Arkansas guard Alexis Tolefree was not selected in Friday's WNBA Draft.

"It's just a blessing even if I don't get picked," Tolefree told WholeHogSports earlier in the week.

Tolefree's final season with the Razorbacks included All-SEC first-team honors. She averaged 16.3 points, shot 40 percent from 3-point range and helped the Razorbacks to their first ranking in the final Associated Press Top 25 poll since 2003.

Arkansas coach Mike Neighbors wrote on his Twitter account Friday that getting drafted is the second-toughest feat in women's basketball aside from making the Olympic team.
