The Tennessee Volunteers came into Wednesday night’s matchup as (+22) favorites on their home court, but those who know basketball knew that the Samford Bulldogs would fare better than that.
But a hot first half from Jordan Bone and physical play from the Vols proved to be too much for the Bulldogs as Tennessee continuously pulled away during the game en route to another blowout in Thompson-Boling Arena.
The Bulldogs got off to a quick start with a 5-0 run to open the game, but a key three-pointer from Admiral Schofield and back-to-back layups from Jordan Bone put the Vols on a 7-0 run and gave them a 7-5 lead.
