Highlights/Photos/Postgame/Stats/Story: Shooting woes, rough 2nd half as No. 11 Vols lose to Colorado in Nashville, 78-66
PDF BOX SCORE | HIGHLIGHTS | VIDEO: BARNES AND JAMES POSTGAME | PHOTO GALLERY
NASHVILLE, Tenn. – A second-half surge of 46 points for Colorado was the difference Sunday afternoon as the 11th-ranked Vols fell to the Buffaloes, 78-66, at Bridgestone Arena in downtown Nashville.
Colorado’s KJ Simpson and Tristan da Silva combined for 24 second-half points as the Buffs (2-1) shot 15-of-28 (53.6 percent) from the floor and converted 10-of-11 (90.9) tries from the free-throw line in a half that saw CU overtake the Vols and never look back.
Despite its shooting woes, Tennessee (1-1) was successful drawing fouls and getting to the line. As a team, the Big Orange shot 30 free throws, hitting at an 80 percent rate. After firing 21 shots from the charity stripe in the first half, the Vols attempted only nine in the second stanza. More than half of Tennessee’s field goals came from beyond the arc, but the Big Orange sank just 27 percent from long range.
Tyreke Key and Josiah-Jordan James tied for the team lead in points scored with 15. James shot 4-of-8 on 3-pointers, while Key did most of his damage from the foul line, going 9-of-11. Olivier Nkamhoua grabbed a team-high 10 rebounds, finishing with double-digit boards for the fourth time in his career. Santiago Vescovi also finished with double-figure scoring, recording 11 points. The guard also tallied a career-best five steals.
The Vols finished with 11 steals as James complemented Vescovi with three of his own. Key also swiped a pair.
Simpson finished with 23 points and 10 rebounds for the Buffs, securing his first career double-double.
The Vols are back in action Wednesday when they return to Rocky Top to host Florida Gulf Coast at 7 p.m. ET at Thompson-Boling Arena. Tickets are still available at AllVols.com, and the game will be broadcast on SEC Network+.

Vols Hold at No. 5/5 in Polls Entering Primetime Battle
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. – The Tennessee Volunteers held at No. 5 in both the Associated Press Top 25 and the USA TODAY AFCA Coaches poll following a dominating 66-24 win over Missouri on Senior Day on Saturday afternoon.
Tennessee (9-1, 5-1 SEC) currently ranks fifth in all three polls after the College Football Playoff committee tabbed the Vols in the No. 5 spot last Tuesday night. This week’s edition of the CFP rankings will be unveiled at 9 p.m. ET Tuesday on ESPN.
The Vols finished the 2022 home slate on a high note with a historic offensive showing, accumulating the most yards of total offense in program history with 724. Tennessee also finished unbeaten at home for the first time since 2007. The energy has been palpable on Rocky Top all season, as Vol Nation sold out the 101,915 seats in Neyland Stadium for the sixth-consecutive game.
The Big Orange will gear up for another road test in a hostile environment as Tennessee travels to South Carolina next Saturday to face the Gamecocks at 7 p.m. on ESPN.
