Arkansas 73, Tennessee 60: BJ Young amassed 25 points as the Razorbacks remained unbeaten at home in Southeastern Conference action.

Young, who came off the bench for the second time this season, went 9-of-15 from the field and 5-of-6 at the foul line. Marshawn Powell added 12 points for Arkansas (13-8, 4-4 SEC), which has logged all 13 of its wins at home.

Jarnell Stokes racked up 18 points and 10 rebounds to lead Tennessee (11-9, 3-5), which remained winless in true road games this season. The Volunteers were playing without Trae Golden -- the only true point guard on the team who was out with a hamstring strain -- and committed 20 turnovers.

The Razorbacks held a 35-25 advantage at intermission and led for the entire second half. Tennessee made it interesting, pulling within 65-57 at the 2:25 mark, but Young scored six points over the final 1:17 to ice the victory.
