He had 13 points in the first half in helping the Volunteers (14-10, 6-5 SEC) to a 40-23 lead. Tennessee shot 49.1 percent, making 20 of 37 2-pointers to outscore Arkansas 40-16 in the paint while winning the rebounding battle 40-29 against the undersized Razorbacks, who don’t start a player taller than 6-feet-7. Already shorthanded with sophomore guard Isaiah Joe out because of recent knee surgery, Arkansas made matters worse by getting into foul trouble early. It also didn’t help that Mason Jones, the SEC scoring leader at 20.5 points per game, had a second straight off night. Five Vols scored in double figures, with Jordan Bowden tallying 16, John Fulkerson contributing 14, Yves Pons scoring 12 and Olivier Nkamhoua adding 10.
