No. 13 seed Ole Miss fought like hell, but couldn’t do enough to send the No. 5 seed Tennessee Volunteers home in the Second Round of the SEC Tournament. Up as many as six in the first half and cutting the deficit to just four in the second, the Rebels let go of the rope in the final ten minutes, with the Vols pushing the lead to double-digits and never looking back.
UT would close out the win with its biggest lead of the game at 15 points, a 70-55 final inside Bridgestone Arena.
