In a thrilling basketball game between Tennessee and Georgia, the hero of the night was none other than Tennessee’s own Knecht. With an exceptional performance, Knecht led his team to an 85-79 victory at Stegeman Coliseum.

The game started off with Knecht’s dominance, as he scored 10 points within the first five minutes of play. This incredible display came on the heels of his impressive 28-point performance against Mississippi State, proving that he is a force to be reckoned with.

Throughout the game, Knecht continued to excel, scoring a total of 36 points. His key contributions included a game-winning three-pointer in the final two minutes that secured the win for Tennessee. In addition to his scoring prowess, Knecht also showcased his versatility by adding five assists and six rebounds to his impressive stat line.

He led a 21-4 run in the closing minutes of the game, completely changing the game’s trajectory in Tennessee’s favor.

In addition to Knecht’s stellar performance, Jonas Aidoo played a crucial role in Tennessee’s victory. Aidoo contributed 10 points, 15 rebounds, and five blocks, showcasing his defensive prowess and anchoring the paint for the Vols.

Despite Tennessee’s early dominance, they faced some challenges defensively, allowing Georgia to go on a 15-0 run early in the second half. However, the Vols regrouped in the final minutes, clamping down defensively and holding Georgia to just one point in the last 5:03 of the game.
