It wasn’t easy, but the No. 18 Tennessee Volunteers (14-5, 5-3) found a way to get it done against the Florida Gators (12-8, 3-5) after a rough first half of basketball.
Santiago Vescovi led the way with 21 points on 6-of-10 shooting as Tennessee outscored Florida by 16 points in the second half en route to its seventh win in the last eight meetings and sixth win in a row at home.
Kowacie Reeves drained a 3 to start the game, but Vescovi quickly tied it up with a 3 of his own on the next possession.
