First Half


In the first half, the Dawgs set the tone early with a strong defensive performance. They recorded 11 blocks and 12 steals, disrupting the Razorbacks' offensive flow. Jeremiah Wilkinson led the charge for Georgia with his relentless defense and quick hands, contributing significantly to their fast break points tally of 23. The Red and Black capitalized on turnovers effectively, scoring an impressive 29 points off turnovers.


Second Half


The second half saw Georgia maintain their momentum as they continued to pressure Arkansas defensively. Somto Cyril was a standout performer in this period, dominating under the basket with his shot-blocking ability that left Arkansas struggling to find rhythm inside the paint. Offensively, Kanon Catchings displayed exceptional shooting accuracy from beyond the arc, helping extend Georgia's lead further.


Despite a valiant effort from Arkansas' bench players who contributed 29 points collectively, it wasn't enough to overcome Georgia's well-rounded team performance. The Hogs managed an impressive free throw percentage of 81 percent but were unable to close down on Georgia's efficient field goal shooting of 46 percent.


Conclusion


This victory solidifies Georgia's position as a formidable force this season as they continue their campaign with confidence.
