Fland’s second-half performance pushes Razorbacks to Oakland rout

After a poor shooting performance in the first half, Arkansas freshman point guard Boogie Fland flipped a switch in the second, which willed the No. 23 Arkansas Razorbacks (11-2, 0-0 SEC) to a 92-62 win over the Oakland Golden Grizzlies (4-10, 1-2 Horizon) on Monday night at Bud Walton Arena. Fland finished the game with 24 points total — 23 of which came in the second half — to go along with six assists and two rebounds. "My teammates found me, it changed the game," Fland said after the game.
