Tennessee's Duke Crews, center, drives against Memphis' Shawn Taggart, left, and Antonio Anderson. Tennessee won, 66-62, on Saturday night in Memphis, Tenn.

Memphis, Tenn. ? No. 1 no more.

And the perfect season is gone, too.

Tyler Smith hit a turnaround jumper in the lane with 26.5 seconds left, and No. 2 Tennessee knocked off the nation’s last unbeaten team, edging top-ranked Memphis, 66-62, on Saturday night.

Tennessee (25-2) won on a night when star guard Chris Lofton scored only seven points, beating the Tigers with a dominating performance on the boards. Lofton did finish it off, though, hitting a couple of free throws with 4.5 seconds to go after Memphis intentionally missed at the line.

Memphis (26-1) lost at home for the first time since Jan. 2, 2006, ending the nation’s longest home winning streak at 47 games.

“We’ve just got to learn from it. We lost,” Robert Dozier said. “They just out-toughed us. They get every loose ball, every offensive rebound. They just outplayed us.”

The Tigers had hoped to use this game to show their lofty record was proof they were the nation’s best team, not the beneficiaries of playing in an unheralded league, Conference USA.

And, of course, they wanted to stay on track to become the first team since Indiana in 1976 to make it all the way through the season with a perfect record.

But the Hoosiers can rest easy. At the end, Tennessee’s players walked off the court in triumph, holding up the name across the front of their orange jerseys to taunt the stunned crowd. The small group of Vols fans who actually got in the building hung around to chant “We’re No. 1! We’re No. 1!”

Tennessee surely will be No. 1 when the next poll comes out – for the first time in school history.

Just as flamboyant coach Bruce Pearl predicted at a pep rally before the game, then again at halftime.

“I wanted to make sure our guys knew we were playing for something,” Pearl said. “I don’t know if we’re the best team in the country. I knew we were 40 minutes away from being No. 1.”

Smith scored 16 points to lead the Vols, while Wayne Chism and J.P. Prince added 13 apiece. But Tennessee did its best work on the boards, overpowering the Tigers with a season-high 50 rebounds. Memphis had 34.
