And finally, a much-needed moment to breathe for Tennessee basketball. The Volunteers returned home on Saturday evening, and once again took apart the South Carolina Gamecocks. It was a scene oddly familiar to the one we saw back in January, with Tennessee nearly doubling up their rivals from the Palmetto State.
Tennessee won 85-45, and they were led by none other than Josiah-Jordan James. You think this team missed him?
James has been out since the buzzer-beater loss to Vanderbilt, while Julian Phillips has been out since the buzzer-beater loss to Missouri. Thankfully for Tennessee, James was able to return and give his team a massive lift on Saturday night.
