Razorbacks beat by Georgia: Hogwash

Call me bitter, but I have a reason to complain after watching my 14-5 Razorbacks fall to an 11-6 Georgia Bulldogs team that was helped significantly by the refs.
Never in my life have I seen such a poor display of officiating than I did on Jan. 19 at Stegeman Coliseum.
Granted, the Hogs were not prepared, missed almost all of their 3-pointers, and couldn't stop the Dawgs from scoring. However, an 82-69 score was the result, in favor of UGA.
So many instances support my case, but none as clear as when a UGA player threw up a shot with nothing left on the shot clock. A teammate hauled in the air ball under the goal and brought it back up top with no shot clock violation called.
UGA has now won all 10 of its home games, and it will continue to be so with that kind of home court advantage.
All in all, the SEC is a tough conference and anything can happen.
However, Arkansas is by far the better team, as will be evident come March.
