Chris Lofton scored six points and grabbed six rebounds in Tennessee's win over the Arkansas Razorbacks last night. JaJuan Smith led UT with 32 points. Tennessee coach Bruce Pearl says Arkansas concentrated on Lofton, which opened things up for Smith and others.
"They were almost playing a box-and-one on Chris Lofton," Pearl said. " We should have done more things to make them ease up on Lofton a little bit. But when he is in there being guarded closely as he was tonight he opens things up for everybody else. "
"Lofton, physically, is one of our strongest guards, and he did a terrific job on Patrick Beverly," Pearl said. "Lofton got six defensive rebounds against the best rebounding guard in the SEC. Beverly could not get very many rebounds because he was too busy out there chasing Lofton."
