Tennessee is taking on Arkansas inside Thompson-Boling Arena at Food City Center. The Vols enter this game ranked 1st and undefeated. Some of their top wins include Baylor, Virginia, Illinois, Miami, and Syracuse. This is their second-ranked test of the season.

Tennessee is the top-ranked team in the nation and boasts the school's best start in more than 100 years. But the Volunteers lack accomplishments in the eyes of coach Rick Barnes as they open Southeastern Conference play against No.
