KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- Dalton Knecht scored a career-high 39 points and had eight rebounds to lead No. 6 Tennessee past Florida 85-66 on Tuesday.

Jonas Aidoo had 19 points and a team-high 10 rebounds to help the Volunteers (13-4, 3-1 Southeastern Conference) win their 12th straight at home.

"Anytime Jonas is aggressive and locked in, he's a major factor," said Tennessee coach Rick Barnes. "The guys are starting to understand each other where they need the ball."

Knecht averaged 32 points in two games last week as he captured SEC Co-Player of the Week honors.
