There was a certain buzz circulating around Bud Walton Arena on Saturday as No. 18 Arkansas took down No. 19 Tennessee.
This team has what it takes.
The Razorbacks looked the part of a legitimate contender on the first day of league play. It’s the first time since the 2020-21 season that they’ve opened SEC play with a win.
Arkansas put up 86 points and ran away down the closing stretch despite not having its best shooting day. The Hogs were just 25 of 59 (42%) from the field and 7 of 23 (30%) from behind the arc.
