Flashback Friday: Hogs Avoid Upset Scare

25 years ago, Arkansas and Tennessee were in reverse.

That Razorback team was one of the top teams in the country and the Vols were a struggling, young unit under embattled coach Wade Houston (father of former New York Knick Allan Houston).

But on a late January night in Knoxville, the Vols almost pulled off an upset, with Arkansas winning 65-64.

Tennessee trailed by four at halftime but led late thanks to the outside shooting of Cortez Barnes and LaMarcus Golden. The two combined to hit 7 3-pointers.

Arkansas survived a quiet night from Corliss Williamson and Scotty Thurman, as the two only managed 16 points together.
