FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (AP) -- Georgia coach Andy Landers said it wasn't "the prettiest of games" as his Lady Bulldogs (No. 2 ESPN/USA Today, No. 3 AP) defeated Arkansas 72-69 on Sunday.

Twins Coco and Kelly Miller combined for 43 points as Georgia held off Arkansas in the Southeastern Conference game.

"Arkansas did a great job of defending us in the second half," Landers said.

Georgia (26-2, 11-1) kept pace with Tennessee for the league title. The Lady Vols defeated LSU 80-48.

Coco Miller scored 23 points and her sister added 20. Deana Nolan added 12 and Tawana McDonald had 11.

Arkansas (14-11, 4-8) got 17 points from Wendi Willits.

"We felt like they were the underdogs in our gym," said Willits. "Once the crowd kicked in, we knew we had a chance. We wanted to put the pressure on them."

Five players fouled out, with Georgia losing Coco Miller, Angie Ball and Nolan.

The Lady Bulldogs led by as many as 21 in the first half and was ahead by 12 at halftime. Arkansas erased the deficit with a 14-2 run to open the second half.

Georgia went ahead 56-48 on jumpers by the Millers. Arkansas rallied on 3-pointers from India Lewis and jumpers by Lonniya Bragg.

Kelly Miller scored four points that put Georgia ahead 71-64 with 1:20 to play. But Arkansas' Amy Wright drew the fifth foul on both Coco Miller and Nolan, and hit two free throws that made it 71-69 with 49 seconds left.

"Amy's plays were huge at the end, the free throws and the defense," Arkansas coach Gary Blair said. "She gave us the chance."

Arkansas fouled in the closing seconds, and Georgia obliged by missing 3-of-4. But the Lady Razorbacks came up scoreless on their last two possessions.

"You have a chance to be the best team you can be for 40 minutes at home, but we came up short," Blair said. "We're not into moral victories, and we're not trying to lose respectably. This team came out and gave everything it had, particularly in the second."
