VOL HOOPS RECAP: Vols get 35 points from Vescovi, James and beat Ole Miss 70-55 to advance to third round of SEC Tournament

Santiago Vescovi hit three 3s en route to 15 points, and Josiah-Jordan James led the team with 20 points on 6-13 shooting with four 3s of his own, and Tennessee dropped Ole Miss from the SEC Tournament with a 70-55 win.

James made the first bucket of the game — a 3 just 17 seconds into action, and from then on it kinda felt like the Vols were gonna take this win.

Ole Miss didn’t go down easy, as Myles Burns had 12 first-half points, Jaemyn Brakfield added eight points on 3-3 shooting, including 2-2 from beyond the arc.
