The Tennessee men’s basketball team got off to the best start in program history, improving to 14-0 with a 76-52 victory over No. 23 Arkansas on Saturday.

With the win to open the SEC schedule, the No. 1 Volunteers also maintained their top spot in the Associated Press men’s basketball poll. This puts Tennessee at No. 1 for five straight weeks, the best streak in program history. (The 2018–19 volumes previously topped the poll for four weeks in a row.)

Tennessee’s 1922-23 men’s basketball team also started 14-0.

Chaz Lanier scored a season-high 29 points to lead the Vols, marking his third consecutive game and seventh time this season with 20 or more points. He shot 10 of 20 from the floor, including 5 of 9 on 3-pointers. The senior guard is now averaging 20 points per game.

Igor Milicic Jr. scored 18 rebounds, 13 points and five assists. Zakai Zeigler followed with 12 points.

Arkansas was led by DJ Wagner with 17 points. Boogie Fland was the only other Razorbacks player to score in double figures, adding 12 points. Jonas Aidoo, who transferred from Tennessee to Arkansas, scored four points with five rebounds after being loudly booed during pregame introductions.

Aidoo played three seasons in Knoxville before joining the Razorbacks for his senior season. The forward was Tennessee’s third-leading scorer last season, averaging 11.7 points and 7.3 rebounds per game and was named All-SEC and All-SEC Defensive Team honors. Slowed by a lower-body injury, Aidoo is averaging 6.3 points and four rebounds in 10 games.

Arkansas falls to 11-3 and 0-1 in conference play. John Calipari’s team has already lost on the road this season to No. 8 Baylor and Illinois. Next up for Arkansas is No. 24 Ole Miss on Wednesday.

Tennessee will look to get off to a 15-0 start, the best in program history, at No. 6 Florida on Tuesday. Tip-off occurs at 7:00 p.m. ET.
