Kyle Wiltjer drove and dumped the ball to a cutting Domantas Sabonis who finished on the baseline with a dunk that rattled the rim and riled up the GU bench. The Volunteers were forced to call a timeout, and afterward Sabonis finished the 3-point play to give GU a 73-67 lead.
Sabonis eclipsed his previous career high for points (26) with 36 and grabbed 16 rebounds for his fifth double-double of the season and the Zags defeated the Vols, 86-79.
"I'm not surprised. That kid is a monster,” Eric McClellan said on Sabonis’ performance. “We know how good he is, but he was able to put it all together like that, hitting free throws, getting key rebounds, scoring efficiently as he has.
