The Tennessee Volunteers (19-1, 7-0) showed why they are the number one team in the nation against the South Carolina Gamecocks (10-10, 5-2) in a 92-70 win at Colonial Life Arena on January 29th.

The Gamecocks didn't allow the Vols to create a lot separation in the first half, mostly on the shoulders of Chris Silva. Silva led South Carolina in points (28) and rebounds (10).

Christ Silva scored 22 first half points but South Carolina still trails by 9….
