After leading by 12 at halftime, Tennessee opened the second half with a 9-2 run keyed by a Stokes layup and dunk just seconds apart. That gave the Vols a 50-28 advantage with 17 minutes left in regulation.
The Vols continued to expand their lead as the second half moved along with contributions from newcomers Moore (11 points) and D'Montre Edwards (seven points), who each made their Vols' debut.
The needle moved to 30 on a pair of free throws by McRae with 11:31 left in regulation, making it 66-36.
Tennessee finished the game on a 14-0 run for the final margin of 42.

Tennessee used an 11-1 run late in the first half to take a 30-20 lead on a layup by Chievous with 4:39 left in the first half.
The Vols started sluggish and fell behind 14-8 after Jackson hit consecutive 3-pointers 5:28 into the action as Victory went on a 10-0 run. McRae stopped the spurt with a try of his own to cut the deficit to 14-11. The Vols took the lead for good at 15-14 on a driving Trae Golden layup with 13:15 left in the first half.
