Trey Thompkins had 23 points and 14 rebounds, and Georgia beat Arkansas 77-64 in the opening round of the Southeastern Conference tournament on Thursday night.
Travis Leslie scored 21 for the Bulldogs (14-16), the No. 6 seed in the SEC East Division.
Georgia took a 43-32 lead immediately after halftime on a 3-point play by Jeremy Price.
Arkansas’ Mike Washington made all four free throws on back-to-back trips to the charity stripe to cut the Bulldogs’ lead to 52-49 with 10:22 left. The Razorbacks (14-18) continued to threaten in the second half but never pulled any closer.
The Bulldogs grabbed 16 offensive rebounds, nine more than Arkansas, and turned them into 19 second-chance points.
Washington finished with 20 points and Courtney Fortson added 16.
The Bulldogs will face the East’s No. 2 seed, No. 20 Vanderbilt, on Friday.

So much talent on the team - no talented performances.

golfdude... Who do you think we could get right now to coach this Razorback basketball team?? I doubt it would be an improvement over Pelphrey. I'm increasingly unimpressed with Pel and his coaching skills, but we really are stuck between a rock and a hard place on this. We're not going to pay the big bucks it would take to lure a big name coach to a program that is this bad and if we don't pay the big bucks, whoever we get might be as bad as Pel or worse. Bad situation.
