It took the five minutes of overtime to do it, but Arkansas pulled off a 91-87 victory in its season opener over Southeastern Louisiana.

Michael Washington lived up to his pre-season SEC team selection, racking up a monster 30 points.

Freshmen played a big role in the game as well — Rotnei Clarke notched 17 points while Courtney Fortson had 18.

The Razorbacks were down by as many as 9 points as the game wound down and had no timeouts left, but a last-minute rally tied up the game.

Washington scored seven consecutive points in overtime to secure the lead for the Hogs.
