The No. 13 Volunteers (7-2, 0-0) needed a big win after their tough loss to the Red Raiders earlier in the week and sure enough, they got win in Saturday’s 76-36 victory over the University of North Carolina-Greensboro Spartans (7-3, 0-0).
Tennessee’s defense forced 25 turnovers on the night compared to 17 made baskets while Josiah Jordan-James and Brandon Huntley-Hatfield tied for the team lead with 12 points as the Vols made it look for the majority of the afternoon.
Tennessee won the tip, but it was UNCG who made the game’s first bucket to take a 2-0 lead a couple of minutes into the game.
