Tennessee Posts Road Upset of No. 19 Vanderbilt

Nate Ament's 13 points and key free throws helped Tennessee edge No. Vanderbilt 69-65 in a game decided by a missed tying 3-pointer in the final seconds.

  • On Saturday, Tennessee outlasted No. 19 Vanderbilt 69-65 at Memorial Gym, with Ja'Kobi Gillespie scoring 17 points.
  • Nate Ament's turnaround jumper flipped the lead late, giving Tennessee a 66-65 advantage with less than a minute to play; Tyler Tanner missed a 3 with three seconds left, and Amari Evans added a free throw with one second left.
  • Despite a nine-point first-half lead, Vanderbilt went cold for over nine minutes as Tennessee used physical play to force Okereke and McGlockton into foul trouble; Washington had six blocks and 10 rebounds.
  • Tennessee will head to Missouri on Tuesday after a 69-65 win, while Vanderbilt hosts Georgia on Wednesday, with records at 20-7, 10-4 and 21-6, 8-6 respectively.
  • Carey's first game back at Memorial Gym added a personal subplot as Vanderbilt program aspirations for a high NCAA Tournament seed and program wins were undermined by the loss.
