The No. 6 Arizona Wildcats (11-1, 0-0) came into Thompson Boling-Arena boasting not only an unblemished record, but the nation’s best offense. However, it was the No. 19 Tennessee Volunteers (9-2, 0-0) that came away as victors thanks to a fast start and a strong defensive performance.
John Fulkerson was incredible on the night, snatching rebounds and making clutch buckets all night long. He finished with a double-double that included a team-leading 24 points and 10 rebounds on 8-of-13 shooting.
Arizona made a run at the end of the game, but the Vols were gritty enough to hold them off en route to their biggest win of the year.
