KNOXVILLE – All season, Tennessee has been a tough basketball team to beat at Thompson-Boling Arena.
Yet an unlikely opponent handed the Volunteers only their third home defeat of the season on Saturday night.
Arkansas, previously 1-11 away from home this season, had too much offense for shorthanded Tennessee and snapped a six-game losing streak in Knoxville with a 75-65 victory.
“It was more demoralizing because we take pride in winning at home,” Vols freshman Admiral Schofield said. “That’s the biggest thing. No matter what happens, we take more pride in winning at home than anything, because we haven’t won on the road that much this year.
