Tennessee erases 16-point deficit, beats Marshall 84-74

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) Tennessee coach Rick Barnes still has plenty of questions about his Volunteers.

Their willingness to persevere amid adversity isn't one of them.

Armani Moore scored a career-high 20 points as Tennessee rallied from a 16-point, second-half deficit Thursday in an 84-74 victory over Marshall that spoiled the Thundering Herd's season opener. Tennessee pulled off its biggest comeback since rallying from 17 point s down to beat Vanderbilt 67-64 on Jan. 15, 2011.

''The one thing is I told them they got themselves in that hole but they also found a way to get themselves out of it,'' Barnes said.
