Arkansas made only one shot in the final 10-plus minutes of its first road test of the season at Georgia Tech on Monday, but it was the kind of shot that makes for happy flights back to Northwest Arkansas.
Moments after Yellow Jackets forward James Banks scored the first points of an ugly overtime period to give Georgia Tech a 61-59 lead, Razorbacks guard Mason Jones answered, calling game in dramatic fashion with a long 3-pointer in front of his bench to push Arkansas to 6-0 on the young season.
The junior finished with a game-high 24 points on 7 of 12 from the floor and 3 of 7 beyond the arc.
