No. 1 Tennessee had a strong comeback victory before Christmas to stay undefeated at 12-0 heading into the holiday break.
The Vols overcame a six-point halftime deficit to eventually defeat Middle Tennessee by a score of 82-64 on Wednesday night in Knoxville.
Chaz Lanier led Tennessee with a team-high 23 points but Zakai Zeigler’s 17 points and 15 assists were key in the Vols finding a way to win in front of their home fans. Igor Milicic Jr. pulled down a game-high 12 rebounds in the win.
After the game, Tennessee head coach Rick Barnes met with the media (in a great Christmas sweater) to give his reaction to the Vols’ comeback win.
Zeigler and Lanier also spent a few minutes talking to the media as well.
