Williams leads No. 6 Vols past Louisiana-Lafayette 87-65

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. -- Grant Williams scored 31 points, pulled down 10 rebounds and showcased his newfound 3-point range Friday as No. 6 Tennessee breezed to an 87-65 victory over Louisiana-Lafayette.

Williams shot 3 of 4 from beyond the arc to match his 2017-18 season total for 3-pointers. The 6-foot-7 forward was 3 of 25 on 3-point attempts last season, though he still averaged 15.2 points and was selected by Southeastern Conference coaches as the league's player of the year.

He shot 11 of 15 overall to lead five Tennessee players in double figures.

Admiral Schofield had 15 points, seven rebounds and seven assists for Tennessee (2-0).
