Dogs Host Hogs At Stegeman

A road-heavy portion of Georgia’s schedule is interrupted on Tuesday when the Bulldogs host Arkansas at Stegeman Coliseum. Georgia is in the midst of a stretch of five road outings in a seven-game span.

In 18 games this season, he has 17 double-figure outings, with eight double-doubles and nine 20-point performances.

Over 81 games played since the beginning of his sophomore year, Maten has produced 73 double-digit scoring performances, with 31 20-point and five 30-point outings, as well as 23 double-doubles.

William “Turtle” Jackson is the Bulldogs’ second-leading scorer overall at 9.4 ppg, with 10 double-figure games. Juwan Parker has been Georgia’s second-best point producer in SEC games at 9.0 ppg.

Arkansas sports a 13-6 overall record and a 3-4 mark in the SEC.
