Tennessee 58, Vanderbilt 57: Jarnell Stokes racked up 19 points and 11 rebounds and Skylar McBee added 10 points off the bench as the host Volunteers held off a late charge from the Commodores.

Kedren Johnson scored 14 points and Josh Henderson added 13 off the bench for Vanderbilt (8-11, 2-5 SEC), which had a chance to win in the final seconds. Johnson's driving layup didn't go and Kevin Bright's put-back attempt bounced off the front of the rim, as the Commodores lost their second straight game.

Tennessee (11-8, 3-4) has won seven of the past eight meetings between the rivals in Knoxville. The Volunteers have won three of four after a season-worst four-game losing streak.

The Volunteers scored the first 12 points but had the margin trimmed to 27-23 going into halftime. The Commodores held their only lead of the game when Kyle Fuller's three-point play put them ahead 23-22 with 2:37 left in the half, but it lasted only 36 seconds. Tennessee closed the half with a 5-0 burst and didn't trail again.

Tennessee led 52-41 after Armani Moore's layup with 8:30 left, but Fuller and Sheldon Jeter hit 3-pointers and Johnson scored five points during an 11-0 run that tied it. Stokes converted a three-point play to put the Volunteers back in front, and they were lucky to stay there despite missing three straight free throws down the stretch.
