KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — No. 3 Tennessee is running roughshod over the SEC, and the University of Arkansas was barely a speed bump Tuesday night.
The University of Arkansas, trailing by 30 points early in the second half, bowed out to the hot-shooting Volunteers 106-87 before a crowd of 19,282 at Thompson-Boling Arena.
The Volunteers (15-1, 4-0 SEC) got separation early and shot a blistering 52.6 percent for the game and 61.1 percent from three-point range.
“I think with a young basketball team coming into this environment, I thought our guys played on their heels,” Arkansas Coach Mike Anderson said of Tennessee’s 55-34 lead at the break.
