Tennessee Defeats Montana in College Basketball

No. 11 Tennessee Volunteers secured a dominant 92-57 victory over Montana with a standout performance from Igor Milicic Jr., who recorded 18 points, 10 rebounds, and five assists. Chaz Lanier contributed significantly, scoring 13 points, most of which came in the second half, helping to extend Tennessee's lead. Zakai Zeigler added 11 points, seven assists, and six rebounds, showcasing his defensive prowess as last year's SEC Defensive Player of the Year. Despite Montana's Money Williams scoring 30 points, the Grizzlies struggled with field-goal droughts, which limited their ability to close the gap. The Volunteers' defensive focus was evident as they capitalized on a strong second half to pull away from a nine-point halftime lead. Tennessee will face Austin Peay next as they continue their early-season home games.
