Jones’ 3-pointer in overtime gives Hogs 62-61 win over Georgia Tech

ATLANTA — Arkansas scored just one time in overtime Monday night and Mason Jones put up a really long 3-pointer that went through the basket with .01 on the clock and pull out a 62-61 win.
Jones, who had 24, had missed a free throw earlier in the extra period after Isaiah Joe missed three attempts.
The Yellowjackets weren’t a whole lot better, hitting just one of five field goal attempts, their only points in overtime coming on a James Banks III shot with 21 seconds left.
Joe finished with 13 points and Desi Sills added 8. As a team, the Hogs shot a paltry 38.6 percent from the field and were out-rebounded 45-30.
It was a game Arkansas probably didn’t have any right to win, yet somehow found a way and keeps them perfect in Eric Musselman’s first year as coach with a 6-0 record.
The Razorbacks will be home Saturday afernoon against Northern Kentucky in a game that tips off at 4 p.m.
