Tennessee basketball was seemingly in control of its matchup against Kansas until the final ten minutes of the game. The Jayhawks stormed back in the second half, beating the Vols 81-74.
That loss results in Tennessee finishing fourth in the Players' Era Championship in Las Vegas and marks the Vols' first loss of the season.
Tennessee held at least an eight-point lead throughout most of the first eight minutes of the second half, but that didn't matter. Kansas pieced together a couple of runs, and the Tennessee offense went quiet, going scoreless throughout nearly half of the final 20 minutes in the game.
