Texas led Tennessee 49-32 with just under 8:00 to play. Then things got interesting. The Volunteers closed on a 19-3 run and tied the game, holding the Longhorns to just a layup and a free throw the rest of the way. Unfortunately for the Vols, the FT by Timmy Allen was the difference, Texas winning 52-51 when Josiah-Jordan James missed a 3-pointer at the buzzer. Unfortunately for Longhorns betters, Texas blew a huge lead and Tennessee (+2) covered against the spread.
