As legendary head coach Nolan Richardson once said, "a raggedy ride is better than a smooth walk," and that was the case on Tuesday night when the Arkansas Razorbacks (6-2, 0-0 SEC) took down the Miami Hurricanes (3-5, 0-0 ACC) 76-73 at the Watsco Center in Coral Gables, Florida.
The Razorbacks trailed by as many as 11 and did not hold a lead in the second half until there was 1:48 left in the game. True freshman guard Boogie Fland drilled a three in the corner to give the Hogs the lead and eventually the win.
Arkansas overcame a slow and sluggish offensive start and despite the Hurricanes shooting 48.3% from the field and making nine total threes in the game, did just enough to pull out the victory.

*Note: Moving forward with this series, we're only going to give grades out to players who play more than 10 minutes, as it feels unfair to judge a player's performance with limited action.*
