It was a long Tuesday night for the Arkansas Razorbacks as they were absolutely dominated by the No. 12 Tennessee Volunteers, 75-57.
Arkansas trailed the entire game and just never really looked comfortable on either side of the floor. Tennessee, on the other hand, showed why they have arguably the best defensive team in the country. They forced 16 turnovers and held the Hogs to just 36.7% (18-49) shooting from the floor.
“I’d say it’s the best defensive team that we’ve played. “They were physical and we were not able to withstand the physicality taking care of the basketball,” said Eric Musselman after the game. “Unfortunately we’ve got one regular season game and still a lot of areas we still need to teach.”

[autotag]Nick Smith Jr.[/autotag] was able to score 12 points, but only shot 3-13 from the floor (1-6 3PT). [autotag]Ricky Council[/autotag] added 11 points. The Razorbacks had four guys in double-figures, but as you can see it wasn’t as impressive as it sounds.
It was a tough game for Razorback fans to have to sit through and watch for two hours. As usual, many took to social media and their were some really good reactions. Here’s what they’re saying about Arkansas getting trounced by No. 12 Tennessee.
