Turnovers doom Hogs in blowout loss to Tennessee, 75-57
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — Tennessee forced 16 Arkansas turnovers and outscored the Razorbacks 42-18 in the paint to give the No. 12/14 Vols a 75-57 victory Tuesday night at Thompson-Boling Arena.
The Volunteers also had 13 assists, including five each from Jahmai Mashack and Santiago Vescovi, on 27 made baskets. While the Vols only made 4-of-16 from 3-point range, they were 3-of-8 from deep in the second half and shot 58.3% in the period, compared to Arkansas’ 36%.

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — Arkansas will play its final regular-season road game on Tuesday on the road against No. 12-14 Tennessee. Tipoff is set for 8 p.m. and the game will be televised on ESPN2.
The Razorbacks need a win, not so much for the NET rankings (those will probably not be moved much either way), but for their confidence after blowing an 11-point lead against No. 2 Alabama last Saturday.
“Our effort was tremendous,” Hogs coach Eric Musselman said. “Some guys played really well, and we had some guys struggle today. That’s happened to us on the road. But, we’ve got to get back and a quick turnaround obviously for Tennessee.”

• This will be the 47th meeting between Arkansas and Tennessee. All but four have come since Arkansas joined the SEC for the 1991-92 season. Tennessee is 1 of 3 SEC teams to lead the all-time series with Arkansas (with Florida and Kentucky). The Vols own a slight 24-22 advantage in the series, including a 23-19 cushion since the Hogs joined the SEC.
• The Volunteers are 15-4 versus Arkansas in games played in Knoxville.
• In a weird schedule quirk, Arkansas and Tennessee only play once in 2022-23, marking the fifth time over nine years the schools will have a single-game series. Four of those five have one thing in common … being played in Thompson-Boling Arena (2017, 2019, 2021 and 2023). Since 2014 and including Tuesday, Arkansas will be playing in Knoxville for the ninth time as compared to five meetings being played in Fayetteville and two at the SEC Tournament.
• Arkansas had its streak of shooting at least 44% from the field snapped at 12 straight games, shooting just 41.4% at Alabama. However, Arkansas still leads the SEC (and ranks 22nd in the NCAA) in field goal percentage at 48.3%. In SEC games, Arkansas leads the league in FG% (.472).
• Despite going 3-3 over its last six games, Arkansas has climbed from 28th to 14th in the NCAA NET.
