Tennessee was certainly smarting from the loss of Kevin Punter Saturday as Ole Miss steamrolled the Volunteers in Knoxville for an 83-60 win. The Rebels end the 2015-16 regular season at 20-11 (10-8 SEC) and carry a two-game winning streak into the SEC Tournament in Nashville next week.
Five whole minutes of SEC basketball transpired without a single point being scored in the first half. Further, Tennessee completed a 15-minute stretch of basketless participation to round out a 22-point half, which is their lowest scoring frame on the season. After a 43-point night against Mississippi State, Stefan Moody tallied two early fouls and sat the last 14 minutes of the opening period as the Rebels carried a hilarious 31-22 lead into recess.
