Tennessee’s leading scorer has been in a slump as he adjusts to SEC play, and that did not change when Lanier returned to the land he once played his high school basketball. The former Ensworth School star posted 17 points on 5-of-11 shooting to lead the Vols.

Tennessee just wrapped up their contest with the in-state Vanderbilt Commodores. The game did not go as planned as the Volunteers were defeated by the Commodores. The final score was 76-75 in favor of Vanderbilt. Tennessee was granted a chance to tie but Chaz Lanier would miss the game equalizing free throw.
