And in perhaps the marquee game of the day, Cooper Flagg gets his first taste of the Tobacco Road rivalry as No. 2 Duke hosts North Carolina in Durham.

Vols putting on a clinicThis sequence pretty well sums up the second half in Knoxville. Tennessee’s defense forces a Florida mistake —> UT ball movement on the break leaves Florida grasping at straws.
Vols up 18 with 3:30 left.

Tennessee pulling away!The Vols’ lead is now up to 19 after a flurry from the home team. They are feeding off the crowd at this point and the Gators are flailing.

Florida down 13 with 10 minutes leftThe Gators are still struggling to get much going offensively against the scrappy Vols’ D. They’re just 10-for-41 from the field and an abysmal 2-for-19 from 3-point range.

Walter Clayton returns for FloridaWe are back for the second half and the Gators have some good news on Walter Clayton Jr.
Florida star Walter Clayton Jr. will start the second half after leaving with an injury in the first. Good news for the Gators.

Halftime: Tennessee 24, Florida 21Well it hasn’t exactly been a thriller so far. Points have been hard to come by as both teams are under 30% from the field.
Florida had eight first-half turnovers and its best player, Walter Clayton Jr., had to be carried to the locker room with a minute left in the half. He was leading all players in scoring with 10 points when he went down with the injury.
Down two starters, Tennessee is leading Florida at halftime the only way it can: with ruthless defense. Vols up 24-21 in a rock fight supreme. (Gators’ leading scorer, Walter Clayton, was injured late in the half.)

Offenses struggling earlyThere are just a couple minutes left until halftime and the pace has slowed to a crawl. The Gators have a 19-16 lead, but both teams have been cold as ice and a bit sloppy with the ball in the first half.

Vols hanging tough earlyDespite missing those 2 starters, the Vols just took their first lead of the game, 14-13, with just over 7 minutes to go in the first half.
Sat, February 1, 2025 at 6:26 PM GMT+1
Tennessee down 2 starters todayThe Vols lost the first meeting between these two teams by 30 points and are without two starters today. Not a great formula.
Two big changes to the Tennessee starting lineup for today’s game against Florida: Jordan Gainey in for the injured Zakai Zeigler, while Darlinstone Dubar is in place of Igor Milicic — who is reportedly battling an illness.
