ATHENS, Ga. -- The only thing that could stop Arkansas guard Mason Jones in the second half was what looked like leg cramps with two minutes remaining.
Jones scored 22 of his game-high-tying 26 points in the second half as the University of Arkansas mounted a major comeback against Georgia. The Bulldogs repelled the Razorback runs and held on for a 99-89 victory Saturday.
Jones made seven layups, a three-pointer and 5 of 5 free throws during a sizzling second-half display before going down with about 1:45 remaining. He stayed on the Arkansas baseline while Tyree Crump hit a three-pointer for Georgia in a 5-on-4 situation before being tended to and helped off the court.
