Arkansas Defense Shines in Win Against Baylor, Boogie Fland Emerges as Standout Guard

Arkansas displayed a strong defensive performance in their recent game against Baylor, despite struggles on the offensive end. Boogie Fland has emerged as a standout guard this season, showcasing impressive skills. While the Razorbacks have faced challenges shooting from the three-point line, they are expected to excel in the paint during the upcoming match.
