Vols play sloppy, hang on to defeat lowly Georgia 75-68

It was an untidy evening inside of Stegeman Coliseum for Tennessee on Tuesday night. With their final regular season game coming up on Saturday against Arkansas, this certainly wasn’t the tune-up Vols fans were hoping to see.

Early on, it felt like every time the Vols sought to break out on the offensive end, it was met with an ensuing turnover the next trip down that resulted in an easy two for Georgia. Shooting wise, the Vols were blazing the nylon early with a quick three from Kennedy Chandler and three early treys from Santi Vescovi.

A pair of blocks from Brandon Huntley-Hatfield led to early points at a quick pace for Tennessee, but Huntley-Hatfield couldn’t hold onto the ball on the offensive end, and it led to points in transition for UGA.
