What happened: After a tight first half, Tennessee pulled away in the second half behind a dominating performance inside from center Wayne Chism and big shots from Cameron Tatum and J.P. Prince.

Turning point: Tied at 44 with 16:15 remaining in the second half, Tennessee took control of the game with a 9-0 run to build a 53-44 lead. Chism started the run with a jumper and Renaldo Woolridge hit a big 3-pointer to extend the lead to 49-44.

Player of the game: Chism had 16 points and 15 rebounds for his seventh double-double of the season and second in as many games.

Quote: "That's a good win because Ole Miss is a really good basketball team. They've got great guards. They're extremely well coached. They were playing very well coming down the stretch," Tennessee coach Bruce Pearl.

Next up: vs. Kentucky, Saturday at 1 p.m.
