FAYETTEVILLE — Before the University of Arkansas basketball team pulled away in the second half at Georgia to win 99-73 on Wednesday night, Razorbacks senior guard Chris Lykes had 9 points, 4 assists and 2 steals in 14 minutes in the first half.
Thanks in large part to Lykes, the Razorbacks had a 53-47 halftime lead.
“I thought that in his minutes, Chris was that guy that changed the complexion and the momentum of the game,” Arkansas Coach Eric Musselman said.
