No. 1 Tennessee defeated Texas A&M 93-76 Saturday night, and the Vols flexed their muscles in the conference showdown.
The Aggies made a respectable 12 threes compared to Tennessee’s nine, but the Vols shot an impressive 64.5 percent from the field. Tennessee won’t lose many — if any — games shooting that high of a percentage.
Grant Williams scored a game-high 22 points, while Lamonte Turner and Jordan Bone scored 19 points and 18 points respectively. Bone finished a perfect 8-for-8 from the field. Jordan Bowden came off the bench to score 16.
Texas A&M was led by Wendell Mitchell, who scored 18 points.
Following the game, Texas A&M head coach Billy Kennedy discussed the loss:
Billy Kennedy: “Unfortunately, we played the number one team in the country that played like the number one team in the country. They’re the best offensive team we’ve played and their execution and poise was great. We couldn’t guard them.”

Billy Kennedy on Tennessee forward Grant Williams: “He’s probably the player of the year. He’s such a great post player and he wears you down.”

More Billy Kennedy: “When Jordan Bone goes perfect from the field and has 10 assists and only two turnovers and you have the inside play of Grant Williams and Admiral Schofield, it’s hard to help off anybody. When you do, they make you pay.”

Billy Kennedy: “For them to get beat, they’re going to have to miss shots … shoot 64.5 percent from the field, gonna win a lot of games doing that.”
