The Arkansas Razorbacks (16-7, 5-5) reached .500 in SEC play with a very narrow 65-63 victory over the South Carolina Gamecocks (8-15, 1-9) on Saturday in Columbia.

After gaining a 13-point advantage less than three minutes into the second half, the Razorbacks let the Gamecocks climb back into the game. South Carolina held a lead with just over four minutes to play, but strong defense down the stretch propelled the Hogs to their fourth straight conference victory.
