Razorback fans got a glimpse of both Fland and Davis in the scrimmage against Kansas. Fland scored 22 points on 8-of-15 shooting to go along with two rebounds, five assists and six steals in a 85-69 Razorbacks win.

“He might be better on defense than offense,” Kansas guard Dajuan Harris said. “He’s a pretty good all-around player.”

Davis saw more limited action, playing just 25 minutes, but carries an unparalleled pedigree for the Razorbacks team. He was a top 10 finalist for the award last year in his time with Florida Atlantic.

The Razorbacks’ season opener is just over a week away. The Hogs will have a final scrimmage against TCU 7 p.m. Friday in Fort Worth, Texas. The game will not be broadcast or streamed.

Here’s a recent college basketball story via the Associated Press:

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (AP) — Trevon Brazile scored a career-high 26 points on 9-of-11 shooting from the field to lead No. 14 Arkansas to a 108-80 victory over Queens on Tuesday night.

Arkansas (9-2) was never in trouble, taking a 24-point lead into halftime behind 60% shooting from the floor. Brazile had 18 points in the opening 20 minutes. Darius Acuff Jr., who finished with 23 points and 10 assists, scored 16 in the first half.

Brazile went 5 for 7 from 3-point range and Arkansas was 14 of 28 compared to 6 for 25 for the Royals (5-7). The Razorbacks also outscored Queens 32-14 on fast-break points.

Atlantic Sun preseason player of the year Chris Ashby entered averaging 13 points per game but was limited to just two on 1-of-9 shooting, including 0 for 7 from 3-point distance. The Royals were led by Nasir Mann, who had 16 points.

Four other Arkansas players joined Brazile and Acuff in double figures. Billy Richmond III scored 15 points off the bench, Nick Pringle added 14, Karter Knox had 11 and D.J. Wagner provided 10.

The win was Arkansas’ fourth in a row since losing to then-No. 4 Duke on Thanksgiving.
