The Volunteers (23-1, 11-0) also earned their 23rd straight home win.
South Carolina (12-12, 7-4) made a season-high 14 three-point baskets and shot 60.9% from beyond the arc but couldn’t slow the Vols’ high-powered offense.
at No. 13 Villanova 85, Providence 67: Eric Paschall scored 20 of his 25 points in the second half and Villanova rebounded from its first Big East loss.

at No. 17 Florida St. 88, Wake Forest 66: Senior Christ Koumadje recorded his first career double-double with 20 points and 12 rebounds. The 7-foot-4 center made 10 of 12 shots and set a career high in rebounds as the Seminoles (19-5, 7-4 in ACC) won their sixth straight game.
at No. 22 Virginia Tech 76, Georgia Tech 68: Ty Outlaw scored 20 points, including six three-pointers for the Hokies (19-5, 8-4 in ACC), who snapped a twogame losing streak and swept the season series.
