KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Tennessee withstood the absence of its leading scorer and delivered a huge blow to LSU's NCAA Tournament hopes.
Armani Moore had 17 points, 10 rebounds and seven assists Saturday as Tennessee won 81-65 over LSU to hand the Tigers their most lopsided loss of the season. Tennessee (13-14, 6-8 SEC) played without Kevin Punter Jr., who had a walking boot on his right foot Saturday after getting hurt two nights earlier in a loss at No. 14 Kentucky.
"It just shows there are a lot of guys who have talent on this team," Moore said.
