Chaz Lanier's 30 Points Propel No. 6 Tennessee to Victory Over No. 7 Texas A&M

Tennessee overcame an early deficit with stellar shooting and late-game resilience in a tightly contested SEC matchup.

Chaz Lanier scored a season-high 30 points, including eight 3-pointers, leading Tennessee to a 77-69 win over Texas A&M.
The game featured 11 lead changes and eight ties, with Tennessee pulling away in the final minutes thanks to clutch shots from Lanier, Jordan Gainey, and Zakai Zeigler.
Texas A&M started strong with three consecutive dunks but struggled from beyond the arc, missing all nine of their 3-point attempts.
Tennessee coach Rick Barnes achieved his 50th career victory over an AP Top-10 team, becoming the 11th coach to reach this milestone.
Both teams excelled at the free-throw line, each shooting 90%, but Tennessee's energy and depth proved decisive in the second half.
