Auburn traveled to Knoxville and took first place Tennessee to the wire, but couldn't hang on to a second half lead in a very well-played game on both sides. Dalton Knecht had 39 points, including 25 in the final 12 minutes, to steal the game for the Vols. Johni Broome led the Tigers in points, rebounds and assists. Jaylin Williams, KD Johnson, Denver Jones, and Chad Baker-Mazara all scored in double figures as well. Auburn returns home on Saturday to face Mississippi State.
