Tennessee moved back into the win column with a 74-70 win over Texas on Saturday night in Austin, TX.
The Vols started the week off with adversity after a blowout loss at Florida but responded with resiliency on Saturday night in the Lone Star State. Tennessee fought through a back-and-forth 40-minute battle to pull out the gutsy win.
Tennessee guard Zakai Zeigler led Tennessee with 16 points and eight rebounds as the senior put together a gutsy 11-point second-half performance. The Vols looked to the leader throughout the game and Zeigler delivered with some big moments down the stretch.
