The Tennessee Volunteers all but locked up an NCAA tournament bid on Friday with a win over South Carolina in the quarterfinals of the SEC tournament.
Jarnell Stokes led the Vols (21-11, 11-7) in scoring with 22 points. Jordan McRae contributed 14 points and was the only other Vol to score in double figures.
Tennessee’s offense didn’t look great, but their defense was smothering.
The Vols will take on Florida on Saturday for a chance to advance to the SEC championship.
