The No. 18 Tennessee Volunteers (10-3, 1-1) came into Wednesday night’s game looking for its first SEC win of the season against the Ole Miss Rebels (8-5, 0-1).
It may have taken an extra period, but the Vols were able to overcome a rather bad offensive output en route to their first SEC win of the year. Santiago Vescovi led the team with 17 points and the team scored 15 points in overtime in order to make sure they came away with the win.
Ole Miss won the tip. The Rebels couldn’t start the game off with a bucket, but neither could the Vols.
