Volunteer payback

FAYETTEVILLE -- The University of Arkansas men's basketball team has won back-to-back SEC games for the first time in six weeks.

Junior guard Mason Jones scored 37 points -- his ninth game the last two seasons with 30 or more points and seventh this season -- to lead the Razorbacks to an 86-69 victory over Tennessee on Wednesday night at Walton Arena before an announced crowd of 14,101.

Jones hit 11 of 19 shots and 12 of 15 free throws.

"Mason Jones was terrific," Tennessee Coach Rick Barnes said. "We had no answer for him. He did it inside, he got to the free-throw line, which I respect that as much as anything.
