Tennessee basketball: Three takeaways from Vols 82-63 win vs. Murray State

Rick Barnes’s team took a 44-35 halftime deficit and turned it into an 82-63 blowout win Tuesday night over the Murray State Racers. With it, Tennessee basketball moved to 2-0 on the season ahead of its first Power Five matchup, scheduled for Saturday against the Washington Huskies on a neutral court in Canada.

The Vols only had two players score double-figures, but it was enough as the offense took off in the second half. They scored a quality victory at home over a Murray State team that did beat Southern in dominating fashion to open the season.
