Arkansas’ season was going nowhere fast when it lost its first five Southeastern Conference contests.But the feeling is much different after three wins in four games. The Razorbacks will face another upset opportunity on Saturday night when they battle No. 3 Alabama at Fayetteville, Ark.The Crimson Tide (19-3, 8-1 SEC) are soaring with five consecutive victories and 13 wins in their last 14 games, so they rank as a formidable foe.But Arkansas (14-8, 3-6) delivered a big message when coach John Calipari returned to Kentucky and engineered an 89-79 upset of the then-No. 12 Wildcats last Saturday.The Razorbacks won on the road again Wednesday with an impressive 78-70 victory over Texas.”We’re coming together,” Calipari said. “We’re still not close to what I think we could be. We’ve proven now in two tough places we can go on the road and win.”Arkansas has received a lift lately from Johnell Davis, the former member of Florida Atlantic’s famous 2023 Final Four team.Davis is averaging 20 points over the past three games after scoring in single digits in 10 of his first 17 appearances for the Hogs.He scored a season-high 18 points in a 65-62 home loss to Oklahoma on Jan. 25 before matching that point total against Kentucky. He then set a season standard with 24 in the win over Texas.Davis made 10 of 25 3-pointers during the three-game run and has 13 steals over the past four games. He leads the Razorbacks with 36 treys is and averaging 10.1 points a game.Davis’ improved play is coming in handy with freshman standout Boogie Fland (hand injury) likely done for the season. Fland (15.1) ranks second on the team in scoring behind Adou Thiero (16.2).”It’s nice to see Nelly being what we thought he could be,” Calipari said. “He’s been great. With him playing the way he is, now we’re dangerous.”Alabama is well-rested, as it didn’t have a mid-week game. The Crimson Tide have been off since routing visiting Georgia 90-69 last Saturday.
