Arkansas surprises No. 4 Tennessee, 92-91

Tennessee came up short of a Southeastern Conference double, and the Volunteers may have to do without a top seeding in the NCAA tournament.

Steven Hill made a turnaround jump shot with 5.3 seconds remaining for his only points of the game and Arkansas upset fourth-ranked Tennessee, 92-91, Saturday night at Atlanta in the semifinals of the SEC tournament.

The Razorbacks (22-10), who surely locked up an NCAA bid, advanced to face Georgia in today’s title game. Tennessee (29-4) won its first regular-season title in 41 years but couldn’t pull off a double in the storm-plagued tournament.

The game was played in front of an estimated 2,000 at Georgia Tech’s Alexander Memorial Coliseum, where the final two days of the tournament were moved after a tornado damaged the Georgia Dome on Friday night.
