No. 1 – March 10 vs. Arkansas Razorbacks (SEC Tournament)

Minutes: 29

FG: 8-of-11

3PT: 3-of-4

Assists: 4

Points: 19

Finally, coming in first on our list as Bone’s best game of the season was the revenge game against Arkansas in the SEC Tournament.

I’m on record saying that I wished Tennessee would get another chance at Arkansas because I genuinely thought they could beat the Razorbacks.

In the revenge game, Jordan Bone had arguably his best game of the season. He set the tone from the start as he scored within the first six seconds of the game. He also drained two three-point shots in the first ten minutes of the game.

There was actually a point midway through the first half where Bone scored eight points in a row to keep the Vols in the game.

I can’t help to think that the Arkansas guards were talking some major junk to get Bone to play the way he did. He shot 8-of-11 from the field and 3-of-4 from beyond the arc.

This game wasn’t his highest scoring or the game where he had the most assists. However, the game meant a little more with it being in the SEC Tournament.
