Overmatched Maryland-Eastern Shore Visits Hogs But Tougher Opponents on Horizon
The first phase of Arkansas' regular season concludes Monday against an overmatched opponent, so we won't learn a lot about the Razorbacks in their sixth game. That'll change in a hurry with game seven.
Arkansas guard Boogie Fland drives against Little Rock Trojans guard Christian Hughes during the second half Friday at Bud Walton Arena. Arkansas won 79-67 as Fland had 21 points and seven assists. / Nelson Chenault-Imagn Images Phase 2 is where the Hogs will learn a lot about themselves. They play three teams from two other power conferences and will likely be challenged three times -- if not four, with UTSA a good program -- in just 13 days.
The first six games give an idea of what the Hogs have, who is ready for prime time, and what needs work. What Calipari needs most -- this would be his early Christmas present -- is health for big men Jonas Aido and Travon Brazile. Calipari installed a zone defense but it's not his preference. That negates a bit of the edge Arkansas can get if guards Boogie Fland, DJ Wagner and Nelly Davis are able to shut down opposing guards -- and they appear capable.
