Chism looks to avenge loss

By Mike Griffith

Tennessee senior Wayne Chism left Auburn last season an angry young man.

“We got punked,” Chism said after the Tigers pulled off a rousing 78-77 upset by out-hustling the Vols on long rebounds, holding a 34-21 edge on the boards despite an obvious size disadvantage.

Chism took matters into his own hands when the teams met again in the SEC tournament, scoring a career-high 27 points and pulling down nine rebounds as the Vols avenged the loss with a 94-85 victory.
