For 34 minutes, it seemed like Tennessee-Vanderbilt was a game destined to go down to the wire. Then…things changed.
Rocky Top Talk: Vols Can’t Answer Vandy’s Best Shot
Even with Scotty Hopson and Kenny Hall on the bench with four fouls, the Vols held a 51-45 lead with 13 minutes to play. Tennessee couldn’t expand the lead any further, and Vandy battled back, taking a 64-60 lead with under 7 to play.
From there, Vandy’s best players were at their best. Jermaine Beal hit as many shots against the Vols tonight as he had in six previous appearances against Tennessee, trading an 8 for 37 career performance for an 8 for 12 night. No two shots were bigger than the back-to-back threes he hit in a 10-0 run that put Vandy up 74-60, en route to 25 points to lead all scorers.
