They’re undefeated at home this year, they want to send John Fulkerson off right on Senior Day, and they don’t want to be swept by Arkansas in the regular season. The score on Saturday will look something like this: Tennessee 77 Arkansas 70.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- After a red-hot start on Saturday, Tennessee chose the worst possible time to go ice-cold. Arkansas used an 18-3 run to trim a 24-point.
Kennedy Chandler and Vescovi led UT with 15 points apiece on the day. “At no point in time did I think (Arkansas) wasn’t going to make a push and get back. The Vols netted just six points in the paint through the entire first half, and they finished the night with just 14 points there. Chandler and Santiago Vescovi were a combined 6-of-6 from long range in the first 20 minutes, and they combined for a 2-of-4 effort in the second half. What we did to them, they turned around and did to us in the second half,” Barnes said. Arkansas used an 18-3 run to trim a 24-point second-half deficit to two in the final 60 seconds, and the Vols didn't hit a shot for over six minutes late in the final period.

Arkansas basketball was down as many as 24 to Tennessee before trying to put together a comeback in its final regular-season game.
Like Notae, Williams were limited in the first half. Musselman got a technical foul with about seven minutes left in the first half. Lykes and Johnson were key parts of the comeback. "We did not guard the three-point shot at all," Musselman said. The Volunteers (23-7, 14-4 SEC) finished the season undefeated at Thompson-Boling Arena. Notae led Arkansas (24-7, 13-5) with 20 points, 15 in the second half. Arkansas started the second half much better, putting together a 10-0 run early. Lykes had 10 of his 15 points in the second half, including back-to-back 3-pointers late to cut the lead to single digits. The difference-maker, though, was Tennessee's 3-point shooting. "We didn’t let the score dictate our energy," Notae said. Tennessee made one more free throw for the win. Costly mistakes late made the difference. Kamani Johnson pulled down a team-high eight rebounds, including five on the offensive glass.
