He justified his coach's faith by knocking down a jumper curling off a screen. Lanier now has 11 for Tennessee. Igor Milicic Jr. quickly picks up his third personal foul for Tennessee. Not only does that give Florida one less big man to contend with in the paint, but losing Milicic's shooting hurts the Vols' spacing.

John Poulakidas led the Bulldogs with 25 points, shooting 5-of-9 from 3. Nick Townsend followed with 19 points. Yale went 13-1 in the Ivy League and 22-7 overall. AK Okereke paced Cornell with 22 points, eight rebounds and five assists. Nazir Williams added 20 for the Big Red, who finished 9-5 in the Ivy and 18-11 overall. Yale is putting the Ivy League championship game away at the free throw line with four by John Poulakidas and two from Casey Simmons. The Bulldogs lead 90-81 with seven seconds remaining. Denzel Aberdeen hits a deep 3 from 28 feet at the buzzer to send Florida into the locker room with a 39-30 halftime lead and answering Tennessee's rally. An Aberdeen 3 bodes well for the Gators...
