HAWGBEAT'S PICK
Each week, HawgBeat will list a few picks that look favorable based on trends and statistics throughout the season.
Boogie Fland OVER 16.5 points scored and OVER 2.5 three pointers made (+250)
In his collegiate debut against Lipscomb, freshman guard Boogie Fland wasn't shy about letting the ball fly.
His 18 field goal attempts was a game-high (next highest was 12, Johnell Davis), and Fland made eight of those shots for 17 points. If head coach John Calipari continues letting Fland have that bright of a green light, he should have opportunities to get over 16.5 points Saturday.
Where Fland needs to improve is from distance, as he finished 1-of-8 from beyond the arc against the Bisons. I will go out on a limb and say that's more of an anomaly than a trend, and I think Fland will bounce back with the bright lights on.
Big-time players make big-time plays when it matters most, and I think that'll be the case for Fland against the Bears.
