Despite a furious comeback from Arkansas in the second half, Tennessee finishes this season undefeated at home with a 78-74 win Saturday.
The Vols took a 50-29 lead — 21 points — into halftime, got outscored 45-28 in the game’s final 20 minutes and made Tennessee fans sweat this one through the end.
The first half was one of the better halves of basketball I’ve seen Tennessee play this year. Kennedy Chandler led the charge by scoring 12 of his 15 total points in the first half, with all four makes coming from behind the 3-point line.
