Tennessee wins its first SEC Tournament Championship since 1979 with a 65-50 victory against Texas A&M

The Vols beat Texas A&M 65-50 on Sunday, and Tennessee won the SEC Tournament for the first time in 43 years.

UT was led by a trio of double-digit scorers: Santiago Vescovi led the way with 17 points, while Josiah-Jordan James had 16 and Kennedy Chandler added 14.

The Vols’ offense was fueled by a blistering outside shooting performance, as Vescovi, James and Chandler combined for 11 of Tennessee’s 12 made 3s. The Vols shot 43 percent from deep and 39 percent from the field overall.

UT never trailed in the game after jumping out to a 16-2 lead in the game’s first six-ish minutes.
