No. 6 Tennessee now has back-to-back wins under its belt after a 74-56 win over No. 23 Georgia Wednesday night in Knoxville.
The Vols trailed the Bulldogs by one point heading into the halftime break but turned up the heat in the final 20 minutes. Tennessee erupted on a 20-4 run to start the second half of play and kept Georgia far away from striking distance through the final buzzer.
Jordan Gainey put up a sneaky 19 points on Wednesday to lead all scorers but Zakai Zeigler wasn’t far behind with 16 points of his own, much of which came in the second half. Special recognition goes to Tennessee guard Jahmai Mashack, who punished a Georgia defense that left him open with 11 points on 5-of-5 shooting from the floor.
