COLUMBIA, S.C. -- Bobby Maze matched his season high with 16 points and No. 20 Tennessee reached 20 victories for the fifth straight season with a 63-55 win over South Carolina on Saturday.

The Vols (20-6, 8-4 Southeastern Conference) needed a late 17-3 run to pull out their seventh straight win over South Carolina (14-12, 5-7).
Tennessee had been lethargic most of the game and trailed 46-43 after Devan Downey's two foul shots with 9:18 to go. That's when the Vols took control and Kenny Hall's jam off a feed from Wayne Chism put them ahead for good, 47-46.
By the time J.P. Prince stole the ball at halfcourt and went in for layup 4 minutes later, Tennessee was up 56-49.
Brandis Raley-Ross had 16 points to lead the Gamecocks, who have lost four of six since their upset of then-No. 1 Kentucky last month.........

Devan Downey, 4-18 15pts,

Good win for the Vols, at a tough place to get a W.

Good to see UT playing some solid ball. Really nice win. Glad to see Downey coming back down to earth. Crazy to think that USC was the one loss at this point in the season!
