How Boogie Fland, Karter Knox, Billy Richmond III looked against Lipscomb

Razorback Freshman Report: Fland leads all scorers vs. Lipscomb

FAYETTEVILLE — The Arkansas Razorbacks took care of business with a 76-60 win over Lipscomb on Wednesday at Bud Walton Arena, and first-year head coach John Calipari’s three highly-touted freshmen all got in on the action.

Rated as a five-star at the No. 10 overall player in the 2024 class, Boogie Fland was the only freshman in the starting lineup for the Hogs. He led the team with 17 points on 7-of-18 shooting from the field and he also added three rebounds, three assist and a steal.

A four-star and the No. 22 overall recruit in the 2024 class, Karter Knox was the second of the three freshmen to get in the game and he was the third player off the bench with 14:50 left in the first half. Knox was the star of the show at the end of the first half, when he scored all five of his points in the game.

Richmond was a four-star prospect and checked in right behind Knox as the No. 23 player in the 2024 class. He checked into the game for the first time at the 13:01 mark in the first half and finished the game with four points, two rebounds, two assists, one steal and one block.
