Zakai Zeigler's near-triple-double helps No. 1 Tennessee wallop Western Carolina

Point guard Zakai Zeigler had 10 points, nine assists and a career-high 10 rebounds Tuesday night as the No. 1 Tennessee Volunteers remained perfect with an 84-36 shellacking of the Western Carolina Catamounts in Knoxville, Tenn.

One of five undefeated Division I teams entering Tuesday, the Volunteers (11-0) went up by 23 at halftime with a stout defense that clamped down on the Catamounts (3-7) and held them without a two-point field goal in the first half.

Chaz Lanier totaled a game-high 19 points to go with seven rebounds, four assists and four steals, while Jordan Gainey had 17 points and five steals for Tennessee.
