Here’s what we learned from the Tennessee basketball Volunteers’ victory over the Razorbacks.

A furious comeback by the Arkansas Razorbacks in the final four minutes nearly erased an eight-point lead for Tennessee basketball. However, the Vols held off the Hogs in the end to pull away for a 79-74 win.

Despite trailing 40-33 at halftime, UT went on a 16-6 run to open the second half en route to rebounding from its shocking loss to the Alabama Crimson Tide on Saturday.
