Unfortunately, the SEC Network executes didn’t think it made sense to make the Tennessee basketball game easily accessible. Despite playing Samford, who by the way was 10-2 coming into the game, the Vols were demoted to SECN+ and what a shame that was.
With 6:19 left in the first half Samford held a seven-point lead before Jordan Bowden hit a big three-point shot to get the Vols going. Tennessee went on a 13-0 run which helped them take a nine-point lead into halftime.
Samford continued to put a lot of pressure on the Vols but could never get close enough to put the game in question.
