NASHVILLE — Tennessee traveled to Music City Saturday and defeated in-state SEC foe Vanderbilt, 66-45, at Memorial Gymnasium.
The Vols’ win was a milestone as Tennessee ended Vanderbilt’s historic 3-point streak.
The Commodores came into the contest with a streak of making at least one 3-point field goal in 1,080 consecutive games. The streak dates back 34 years.
Entering the contest, Vanderbilt was one of two teams (Princeton, UNLV) to make a 3-point field goal in every game since the NCAA implemented the 3-point line during the 1986-87 season.
The Commodores ended the game going 0-of-25 from beyond the arc.
The Vols will return to action Tuesday, Jan. 21 against Ole Miss. Tipoff is slated for 9 p.m. ET and will be televised by the SEC Network.
