Photo gallery: Arkansas blasts Georgia to set up huge stretch run

Arkansas’ best game of the season came exactly when the Razorbacks needed it.

All of the sudden, Arkansas looks like the team they were supposed to be most of the season.

The Razorbacks won their second straight game on Tuesday night, easily handling Georgia, 97-65, to move one game above .500 in SEC play and keep their NCAA Tournament chances alive.

The game was almost never close as Arkansas opened a double-digit lead less than 10 minutes into the game. By halftime, Georgia had only three more field-goal attempts than Arkansas had makes as the Razorbacks took a 20-point lead into the break.

Ricky Council and Nick Smith Jr. led the way offensively, scoring 22 and 26 points, respectively. Arkansas ran away with the game by turning 13 Georgia turnovers into 20 points while committing just five giveaways themselves.

Next up for the Razorbacks: Saturday at Alabama.
