Vols Hold Off Stingy ETSU
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) – Armani Moore had 13 points, 12 rebounds and seven assists Wednesday as Tennessee rallied to beat East Tennessee State 71-61 for its fourth straight victory.
ETSU (6-4) scored the game’s first 13 points and had a six-point lead early in the second half before Tennessee (8-4) took over. The Buccaneers scored just two points and had no baskets during an 8 ½ minute stretch in the second half.
Josh Richardson had 19 points and six assists for Tennessee. Derek Reese matched a career-high with 12 points and made a go-ahead basket with 7:50 remaining as part of a 12-0 run.
ETSU’s Rashawn Rembert had 21 points and went 7 of 11 from 3-point range but attempted only one shot in the game’s final 19 minutes, 27 seconds.
Moore was three assists away from joining Tyler Smith as the only Volunteers player to post triple-double in school history.
