Tennessee entered Tuesday looking for their fourth straight SEC win, and they found it. The Volunteers disposed of Texas A&M, 90-80.
Josiah-Jordan James got the Volunteers started with eight quick points, immediately putting Tennessee in control. Santiago Vescovi and Zakai Zeigler each connected on two three-pointers in the first half, combining to push Tennessee out to a 43-35 lead at halftime.
The Volunteers controlled this one up until the eight minute mark in the second half. An 11-3 Texas A&M run brought the Aggies to within four points at 59-55.
Texas A&M, losers of four straight SEC games, needed this one badly, and they were playing like it in the second half.
