View from 315A

Tennessee (22-2) handily defeated Arkansas (17-6) tonight, 93-71. With Kentucky’s embarrassing 41-point loss last night and Florida’s home loss to LSU tonight, the Vols sit firmly atop the SEC East. The LSU win also makes Tennessee’s narrow escape from Baton Rouge on Saturday seem less discouraging. Maybe John Brady really was LSU’s problem...

JuJuan Smith was amazing hitting all six of his three-point attempts en route to 32 points. He scored only two in the last game in which he was hampered by the flu. I think it is safe to say that JuJuan Smith plays better when he does not have the flu. Remember, you heard it here first.

Chris Lofton did not get a good look at the basket all night and scored only six. JuJuan and Lofton seldom score heavily in the same night. It was only Lofton’s second game all season without a three-pointer.

Tennessee actually shot 73% from the line after going 4/15 against LSU. Overall, it was a great win against a good Razorback team.

I’ll just say, “Go Vols” and let you talk.
