Lamonte Turner hit a three-pointer as time expired to give Tennessee basketball an incredible 72-69 win over the Virginia Commonwealth University Rams Saturday. The play happened just as Tennessee football was heading into halftime up 21-3 over the Vanderbilt Commodores.
UT blew a 13-point second half lead, as VCU tied it up with a three-pointer from De’Riante Jenkins with five seconds to go. The Vols then got a timeout with just over one and a half seconds to go, and that’s when the buzzer-beating shot happened. John Fulkerson led Rocky Top in scoring with 17 points, and Turner and Jordan Bowden had double-figures as well.
