KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — The No. 23 Arkansas men’s basketball team opens its SEC schedule with a road game at top-ranked Tennessee at noon Saturday at Thompson-Boling Arena.

The Razorbacks (11-2) have won 9 of their past 10 games while the Volunteers enter undefeated at 13-0.

“They run their stuff hard. They take good shots, they’ve got good scoring,” Arkansas associate head coach Kenny Payne said of Tennessee. “[It's a] very good team. You can see why they’re No. 1 in the country.”

Each of the league’s teams will open their SEC schedule Saturday. The SEC has 10 teams ranked in The Associated Press Top 25, the most of any conference.
