NASHVILLE, Tenn. --How long has it been since Arkansas beat Florida anywhere other than Walton Arena?
So long ago that Pat Bradley -- honored as the Razorbacks' SEC Legend at halftime of Thursday's Arkansas-Florida game -- was a senior guard the last time it happened.
That was 17 years ago.
The Gators made it 13 consecutive victories over Arkansas outside of Fayetteville when they beat the Razorbacks 68-61 at Bridgestone Arena on Thursday.
Arkansas last beat Florida away from home March 5, 1999, when Bradley scored 11 points in the Razorbacks' 75-74 SEC Tournament victory in Atlanta.
Since then, the Razorbacks are 0-9 at Florida and 0-4 against the Gators in SEC Tournament games.
One and done again
Arkansas lost in its SEC Tournament opener for the seventh time in eight years.
The Razorbacks hadn't won an SEC Tournament game since 2008 prior to last season, when they advanced to the finals before losing to No. 1 seed Kentucky.
"It's tough for the season to end like this," Arkansas guard Anthlon Bell said. "As a senior, you want to go as far as you can in March, but sometimes it doesn't happen like that."
30-point club
Dusty Hannahs became the 45th Arkansas player to score 30 or more points with his 33-point game Thursday.
It was the 115th time a Razorback has scored 30 or more points, and the first time since Michael Qualls scored 30 against Alabama last season in the Razorbacks' 93-91 overtime victory.
200-plus for Durham
Senior guard Jabril Durham had six assists against Florida to give him 204 for the season, the fourth most by a Razorback behind Kareem Reid (219 in 1996), Lee Mayberry (209 in 1991) and Corey Beck (207 in 1995).
Give him a hand
Florida center John Egbunu didn't start against Arkansas after tearing a ligament in his right thumb during practice Tuesday, but the 6-11 sophomore played a key role off the bench with 8 points and 9 rebounds in 24 minutes.
Wearing a heavy wrap on his right shooting hand, Egbunu was 3 of 3 from the field and hit 2 of 3 free throws.
"I just thought his presence out there was good for them," Arkansas Coach Mike Anderson said. "He probably played better with the cast."
Egbunu said the pain was "pretty mild" except for a couple of times when he was on the floor fighting for the ball.
"It was bearable," he said. "I just wanted to go out there and help my team the best way I could."
Egbunu said he reacted instinctively when he dove on the floor.
"I saw the ball on the floor, and I just wanted to dive and try to give us an extra possession," he said. "I wasn't really thinking [about his thumb], but after I dove on the floor I thought about it, because it hurt pretty bad."
Arkansas Gators
Florida freshman guard KeVaughn Hill (North Little Rock) and junior forward Justin Leon (Conway) combined for 13 points and seven rebounds. Allen started and had 11 points and 5 rebounds, while Leon had 2 points and 2 rebounds off the bench.
Hill of a game
Florida sophomore guard Kasey Hill burned the Razorbacks with a season-high 18 points off the bench. He hit 6 of 10 shots, including a driving basket with 53.9 seconds left that gave the Gators a 62-59 lead and answered a 6-0 run by Arkansas.
"Hill controlled the game," Arkansas guard Anthlon Bell said. "Whether it was in the pick-and-roll or the open court, he made big plays. He hit some key jumpers, too.
"He was the leader for his team they needed."
Hill came into the game averaging 8.0 points, but he finished two points shy of his career-high 20 points against North Carolina last season.
