KNOXVILLE – Robert Hubbs III wasn’t sure where he was throwing the basketball.

The Tennessee senior only knew he couldn’t let the missed shot land out of bounds.

The hustle play was one of a couple Hubbs and the Volunteers made down the stretch as they outscored Ole Miss 15-2 in the final three minutes and 50 seconds of an important 75-66 Southeastern Conference win Wednesday night at Thompson-Boling Arena.

“I just chased it down,” Hubbs said of his effort assist to Grant Williams for the tying basket. “I saw I still could get to it. I just tried to save it under our basket, so hopefully somebody could get it.

“Grant was right there, and he scored the basket.”
