AUSTIN, Texas — The No. 1 Tennessee Volunteers made 5-of-7 shots from the floor down the stretch and six free throws in the last 32 seconds to hold off the Texas Longhorns, 74-70, on Saturday at the Moody Center as former Texas head coach Rick Barnes beat his longtime assistant Rodney Terry for the third time in the last three years.
Four of those free throws came from Tennessee point guard Zakai Zeigler, who also made a key layup after a timeout with 59 seconds remaining for a five-point lead. Zeigler scored a team-high 16 points and had eight assists as Texas was able to limit leading scorer Chaz Lanier to 10 points on 3-of-11 shooting.
