The return of flashy G Boogie Fland (15.1 ppg) to active duty for Arkansas might not be great news, as the Razorbacks began to ascend after Fland went down with his hand injury. FAU transfer Johnell Davis, who began to flourish after Fland's injury, while John Calipari's UK transfer DJ Wagner was able to seamlessly slide to the point. Fland reportedly won't start, but will be available off the bench, while top scorer F Adou Thiero (knee) remains out. No matter, the Razorbacks, depending on when one bet a few games, could have covered 12 of 13, and this has proven not to be a trustworthy KU team, which has dropped 12 of its last 18 vs. the spread. Play Arkansas (NCAA at Providence)

Kansas has been a massive disappointment but is still mega-talented and has a ton of Big Dance experience led by All-American big man Hunter Dickinson. I tend to think the dominates the paint with Hogs top big man and leading scorer/rebounder Adou Thiero out. Arkansas will get back touted freshman guard Boogie Fland for the first time since Jan. 18 but sounds like he will be very limited in terms of minutes. Kansas is 37-2 in its past 39 first-round games. Our model has KU by five.
