Last Time Out
Dalton Knecht continued to star for the Vols with a game-high 24 points in the win at Wisconsin. Jordan Gainey again provided instant offense off the bench with 10 points. Josiah-Jordan James had 14 and Jonas Aidoo scored another 10. Tobe Awaka scored six important points in the second half, helping Tennessee hold off a Wisconsin run after the Badgers cut the deficit to three points.
Tennessee struggled for stretches early in the second half, but got all the separation it needed with a 9-2 run to quiet the Badgers for good. The lead was just three when Knecht drove baseline, hung in the air and finished at the rim while getting foul.
The 3-point play was followed by back-to-back paint buckets from Awaka before an Aidoo layup made it a 10-point game with 4:45 left, silencing the home crowd and giving Tennessee its biggest lead of the game.
