Vols hoops game RECAP: 8 Tennessee dominates Vanderbilt 88-53, improve to 9-3 in conference play

Tennessee went into tonight’s game with an opportunity to jump into sole possession of second place in the SEC standings. What stood in their way? A Vanderbilt team coming off of their biggest win of the season against Texas A&M. How would the Volunteers fair against their in-state rivals? Well, from the first possession, Tennessee absolutely dominated this game. Led by wildly efficient days from Zakai Zeigler, Josiah Jordan-James and Santiago Vescovi, Tennessee handled Vanderbilt 88-53, and to be honest with you, it didn’t feel that close. Pending the result of the Kentucky-Auburn game, Tennessee will move into second place in the conference, one game behind Alabama.
