Thompson comes up the biggest

ATHENS, Ga. -- Six NBA teams had scouts at Tuesday night's game in Stegeman Coliseum.

The Cavaliers, Clippers, Hawks, Heat, Nets and Wizards no doubt were scouting Georgia 6-8 senior forward Yante Maten -- who came into the game leading the SEC in scoring (19.6) and rebounding (9.1). They also likely wanted to get a look at Daniel Gafford, the Arkansas Razorbacks' athletic 6-11 freshman.

But it was Razorbacks 6-8 senior Trey Thompson who had the final word inside.

Thompson blocked a shot by Maten with 2.2 seconds left to preserve what became an 80-77 double-overtime victory for the University of Arkansas, Fayetteville after Daryl Macon hit two free throws with one second left.
