Safe to assume JaJuan Smith is healthy again?
After suffering from a high fever during the LSU game before eventually winning the game with a steal and breakaway lay-up, the Cleveland Kid put up 32 points to help the Tennessee Vols pull away from an over-matched Arkansas squad 93-71.
With Arkansas clearly intent on locking down Chris Lofton, the perimeter opened up for Smith who blistered the Hogs with a barrage of outside shooting. The second half belonged to the Vols after Arkansas seemingly quit after putting up a decent fight in the first half.
The game was an ugly one thanks to whistle-happy officials who called 27(!) fouls in the first half. Once again, the Volunteers' depth paid off as Arkansas could not match the talent of the UT bench when its own starters took to the pine with foul troubles.
Frankly, there is not much to write about this one. The Vols survived an ugly opening half and completely dominated the second one.
T-minus 9 days until Tennessee vs. Memphis...

Assuming we don't lose between now and the Memphis game, do you think we'll be #1 when we beat Memphis?
G!lenn - welcome to the blog. I doubt we would jump Duke, but we might. With two losses to their one and with them being Duke and all, it would be surprising. If we went to Memphis and dominated them, however...
I think that people still are not totally sure about Memphis because of the soft conference schedule.
All I know is that I can't wait for that game.
Not that the polls really matters anyway. A win at Memphis should help lock up a #1 seed barring a too early exit from the SEC tournament.
