March Madness is beloved for its upsets, but the SEC basketball tournament probably isn't the right place to be looking for them.
2015 SEC basketball tournament results and bracket: Arkansas tops Georgia, advances to championship
The Razorbacks overcame a quiet game from Bobby Portis and will face Kentucky on Sunday.
Jim Brown-USA TODAY Sports
Tournament-seeded No. 2 Arkansas advanced to the championship game on Saturday, knocking off Georgia, 60-49, to set up a showdown with undefeated Kentucky on Sunday. Bobby Portis struggled offensively, scoring just four points on 1-of-14 shooting, but made up for it on the other end by grabbing 12 rebounds and anchoring Arkansas' relentless full court press. To help pick up for his usual scoring, Michael Qualls had 15 and Anthlon Bell scored 10 off the bench.
The win sets up a championship game between the top two seeded teams in the tourney. Arkansas only faced Kentucky once in conference play, a game in which they fell behind early and lost, 84-67. Portis had 15 points and eight rebounds, but the Razorbacks only managed seven bench points while Kentucky’s Trey Lyles scored a career-high 18.
