A wild Saturday in the SEC continued in the evening with No. 17 Tennessee’s home win against the No. 3 Auburn Tigers. Arkansas had already upset No. 6 Kentucky earlier in the day, and now both the top-two teams in the conference have gone down.
The Tigers led for most of the game against the Volunteers, but UT began to pull away in the final minutes of the contest and ultimately held on for a 67-62 win.
It was a huge victory for a Tennessee team looking for a top-four seed in next month’s NCAA Tournament, but this outcome could have wide-reaching impacts beyond Knoxville.
