Arkansas Razorbacks Secure First SEC Win Under John Calipari in Dramatic Fashion

A 15-point comeback led by Adou Thiero ends Arkansas' five-game losing streak, but questions about team cohesion persist.

  • Adou Thiero delivered a standout performance with 17 points, 11 rebounds, and a game-winning layup in the final seconds against Georgia.
  • Arkansas overcame a 15-point deficit in the second half, relying heavily on free throws, making 29 of 34 attempts to edge out a 68-65 victory.
  • The win marks John Calipari's first SEC victory as head coach of the Razorbacks, ending the team's five-game losing streak in conference play.
  • The Razorbacks struggled with poor shooting, hitting just 31% from the field and 13% from three-point range, highlighting ongoing offensive challenges.
  • Despite the win, the absence of injured star freshman Boogie Fland and questions about team identity and balance continue to loom over Arkansas' season.
