A bit of a slow start offensively didn’t last for Tennessee basketball on Monday night. The Volunteers, hosting Tennessee Tech for their opening game of the 2023-24 season, scored four points through the first six minutes of play. They’d end up with 41 in the first half, however.
The offense caught fire once Josiah-Jordan James hit the first three of the night. He’d hit two more in the first half, while Dalton Knecht would join him with two of his own.
Zakai Zeigler, who tore his ACL back in March, entered the game with 13 minutes left in the first as a part of the first platoon change for Tennessee.
