Adou Thiero, who followed Calipari from Kentucky to Arkansas, had five points in the final minute to end the team's five-game losing skid.

FAYETTEVILLE — John Calipari was apologetic following his first SEC win as Arkansas’ basketball coach Wednesday. The Razorbacks’ 68-65 victory over Georgia at Bud Walton Arena snapped a five-game losing streak that began Jan. 4 at Tennessee. The 0-5 start to conference play was Arkansas’ worst since joining the SEC in 1991-92.

In a year full of adversity and setbacks, the Arkansas Razorbacks just needed to win a game by any means necessary.
