— Moses Kingsley scored 17 points off the bench to lead Arkansas to an 85-67 win over Tennessee on Saturday at Bud Walton Arena.

Kingsley, who had started the Razorbacks' first 22 games of the season, didn't start against the Volunteers because of a technical foul that he was assessed late in a game against Florida earlier in the week. The technical was Kingsley's second in five games.
