Arkansas is better without Fland

[wkycatfan]

For me this continues to illustrate the difficulty of trying to win with freshmen, even if OAD. The flaw in Cal’s philosophy and players first imo. Plus Cal couldn’t beat Oakland (and others) but he can come into Rupp and beat us. Cal has always done his best coaching when he’s backed into a corner.

I agree, the Hogs had two ball dominate guards who did not like to pass.

How many games has Arkansas won without Fland vs with him. I think your proclamation is a bit premature.

When Cal was the UK coach I always felt the OAD players had one eye on March and one eye on the NBA, bad mix if you’re a UK fan.

Johnell Davis looks like he’s been set free from prison since Fland went out.

They are not.
They just got hot this 1 game. I bet the boos directed at 3 of them also gave extra motivation.
Also announcers said Davis is getting healthier.

Without Fland their offense never looked this good .

They also beat Georgia without Fland.

0-5 in the SEC with Fland, but 2-1 without him. Is that just coincidence?

 

[the nail at the foul line]

Ball dominant guards are usually bad for team success.

Not that he would’ve continued playing this way but he missed 56 shots in 5 SEC games. He shot them out of wins they would’ve had vs Ole Miss, at LSU, and maybe Florida.
