It wasn't easy, but the Tennessee Vols managed to leave Champaign on Saturday night with a win against Illinois. 

The Vols improved to 10-0 on the season thanks to their 66-64 win on the road against the Fighting Illini. 

Tennessee secured the win thanks to a buzzer-beating layup from guard Jordan Gainey, who finished the night with 23 points. 

Sports Illustrated's Kevin Sweeney tweeted a must-see video of Gainey's game-winner from court level that captured the reaction of Tennessee basketball coach Rick Barnes and the UT bench. 

The silence of the Illinois crowd has to be particularly satisfying for Vols fans. 

Tennessee will return to action on Tuesday night when they host Western Carolina at Thompson-Boling Arena in Knoxville.
