The No. 23 Arkansas Razorbacks (11-3, 0-1 SEC) were served a reality check Saturday with a 76-52 blowout loss on the road to the No. 1 Tennessee Volunteers (14-0, 1-0 SEC).
Arkansas' rebounding — or lack thereof — told the story of the game. The Hogs were out-rebounded by Tennessee, 51-29, and Arkansas gave up 24 offensive boards which led to 16 second-chance points for the Vols.
Guard D.J. Wagner scored a team-high 17 points and freshman guard Boogie Fland added 12 of his own, but a seven-minute scoring drought in the first half allowed the Vols to push out to a lead they never relinquished.
Tennessee forward Chaz Lanier was a one-man wrecking crew on the offensive side of the ball, as he scored 29 points and hit five threes to keep any comeback attempt the Hogs had at bay.
