SEC Tournament: Hogs 92, Vols 91


Arkansas' win over Tennessee in the Southeastern Conference Tournament's semifinal came on the shoulders of two unlikely heros Saturday night at Georgia Tech in Atlanta. Steven Hill scored only two points against the Volunteers, but it was probably the biggest two points of his college career. It truly was an amazing shot.


The "Manimal" was unleashed Saturday night. Charles Thomas scored a career-high 24 points against the Vols and had 10 rebounds.


The whole team pulled together and played a truly unforgettable game in the middle of a very crazy weekend. Tornados (there was another tornadic storm that passed through downtown Atlanta again today), a change of venue that limited fan attendance and a rematch with the team that handed them their worst point loss of the season. The Hogs play Georgia, who beat Mississippi State, tomorrow night in the championship. The Hogs have a really, really good chance of bringing a SEC Tournament trophy back to Fayetteville come Monday.

that is one helluva shot of Hill's basket. How was the light in there? Good luck tomorrow.

Nice work, Marc. No matter what the Hogs bring home tomorrow, don't bring any tornadoes back.

Great stuff, man. Have fun. I'll be at the baseball game freezing my rear off.

that's a really interesting jube shot with the two players hugging and rolling around on the ground while a bunch of other guys just stand around watching. since this was a sporting event we'll go ahead and consider that normal behavior.
