Thiero’s double-double effort leads Arkansas past Georgia

With the Razorbacks shorthanded in the absence of freshman guard Boogie Fland, Arkansas forward Adou Thiero put his cape on for late-game heroics in the 68-65 win over Georgia on Wednesday at Bud Walton Arena in Fayetteville. Thiero in transition was the only offense going early on for the Razorbacks, who took a 7-6 lead with 14:16 left in the first half and then didn't lead again until there were less than five minutes left in regulation. With just 30 seconds remaining on the clock, Theiro drove to the middle of the lane, absorbed contact and put up a jumper that went through the net to give Arkansas a 65-63 lead.
