Tennessee held on to the top spot in this week’s AP top 25 college basketball poll, edging out Auburn once again. The Volunteers received 1537 points and 50 first place votes, while Auburn received 1483 points and 12 first place votes.
Tennessee found a way on Saturday night with several players in big foul trouble. It was Jordan Gainey stealing the show, sprinting the length of the floor and hitting a game-winning layup as the clock struck zero. The Vols added another big road win against another quality opponent, and now focus begins to shift to SEC play.
