Emotions were escalated throughout the game. At one point during the game, junior forward Uros Plasvic was given a technical for talking smack to Florida's bench. 

The Vols escaped Thompson-Boling Arena with a 78-71 win to improve to 5-3 in conference play.

Florida had a 15-0 run in the first half when Tennessee went more than six minutes without scoring. However, the Vols rallied in the second half, outscoring the Gators by 16 in the second half. 

The Vols are now riding an 11 game win streak at home this season.
