“He gave me a challenge, and I had to respond.” That was what Grant Williams said in the post game interview about Rick Barnes calling him out. And did he ever respond for Wednesday night for Tennessee basketball!
Behind Williams, the Vols got their 20th win of the season to get to 20-7 and moved to 10-5 in the SEC Wednesday night with a huge conference win over the Florida Gators. The win allows them to hold onto that No. 2 spot in the conference standings with an outside shot at the regular season championship.
It was a great night for the Vols with Ron Slay, Chris Lofton, Jordan McRae, Josh Richardson and Bobby Maze in the house.
