ATHENS, Ga. -- Georgia hardly had seen a lead it couldn't blow in the second half this season.
Until Saturday.
The University of Arkansas twice pulled within a point down the stretch after trailing by as many as 18 points, but this time the Bulldogs had an answer.
Georgia, led by freshman Anthony Edwards and senior Tyree Crump, made a series of key three-pointers, shot 56.7% from the floor and pulled away late in a 99-89 victory before a sellout crowd of 10,017 at Stegeman Coliseum.
Arkansas (18-11, 6-10 SEC) struggled to keep the Bulldogs (15-14, 5-11) from penetrating into the lane for major parts of the game, then did not close out well enough on their three-point shooters.
