Boogie Fland to Return for NCAA Tournament

Arkansas freshman guard Boogie Fland is set to return for the NCAA Tournament after being medically cleared following surgery on his right thumb. Fland played 18 games before his injury, averaging 15.1 points, 5.7 assists, and 3.4 rebounds per game, and was a key player for the Razorbacks. Despite his absence, Arkansas managed a 9-6 record and is projected as a 10-seed for the tournament. Head coach John Calipari confirmed Fland's availability but is uncertain about his playing time in upcoming games. The Razorbacks turned their season around in Fland's absence and are expected to be part of the NCAA Tournament field. Fland's return is seen as a significant boost for the team as they prepare to face Kansas in their opening game.
