Tennessee basketball got off to a great start on Friday night in Italy, taking down the Lithuanian U21 team, 97-57.
It was Freddie Dilione, Santiago Vescovi, Jahmai Mashack, Josiah-Jordan James and Jonas Aidoo to start for Tennessee. Rick Barnes turned to Dalton Knecht, Jordan Gainey and Tobe Awaka first off of the bench.
Vescovi got things started with a three, then Dilione came up with a steal and layup. In his first moments on the floor for Tennessee, the redshirt freshman guard was aggressive on the offensive end, looking mighty comfortable in the offense. Of course, he got the start for Zakai Zeigler, who is still working his way back from an ACL injury.
