Arkansas is no longer winless in the SEC.
Greetings, BBN!
Arkansas is no longer winless in the Southeastern Conference. The Razorbacks somehow came back from 14-down in the second half to get it all tied up in the final seconds, drive and get fouled, and knock down a free throw and a layup to triumph 68-65 over the Georgia Bulldogs in Bud Walton Arena. It wasn’t pretty, and it wasn’t dominant top-25 basketball, but it was a win, and perhaps it will provide enough of a spark to get them back toward their preseason expectations.
Here are your SEC standings as of January 24th:

Notes:
- Texas picked up a much-needed win at home Tuesday against Missouri for just their second SEC win, and first not against their former Big 12 neighbor Oklahoma.
- Arkansas absolutely must follow up their victory over Georgia with another home win over Oklahoma, because after that it’s at Kentucky, at Texas, and hosting Alabama.
- Georgia will the loss to Arkansas drops to 2-4 in the league, but both their victories were against ranked opponents. There will probably be at least one SEC team that gets in the tournament with a conference record of like 7-11 or something. Or even 6-12!
- Florida barely escaped South Carolina on Wednesday to improve to 4-2 in the league and 17-2 overall. Down 68-69 Will Richard hit a driving layup to deny the Gamecocks their first SEC win.
- Biggest game this weekend: Tennessee at Auburn.
