Hogs avoid SEC cellar, smack Tennessee

Arkansas is not one of the worst teams in the Southeastern Conference. Saturday proved it.

In a league that takes a majority of its teams, blends them together and throws them back into the middle, Arkansas finds itself in that mix. Not at the top. But not at the bottom.

Arkansas stifled Tennessee for long enough in the second half to open a double-digit lead and then held it in the final minutes to win its second road game of the season, 75-65, at Thompson-Boling Arena.

The Volunteers went almost five minutes without a point as Arkansas (15-14, 8-8 in SEC) turned a three-point advantage to 11 with nine minutes left.
