7:58: Halftime. UNC-Asheville has more turnovers (16) than points (14). Tennessee leads 66-14.

7:49: With 3:08 remaining, Turner sinks the first field goal for the Bulldogs. Whatever coach Eddie Biedenbach said during that timeout must have worked. UNC-Asheville missed their first 19 shots. Vols 57, Bulldogs 10.

7:48: Asheville takes a timeout, a wise decision, they trail 57-8.

7:44: Tatum dunks over 6'10" center D.J. Cunningham, then gets charged with a foul on defense. UNC-Asheville still has not made a field goal. The Bulldogs are 0-17 from the field and 8-11 from the free throw line.

7:32: Hopson hits another three, he's 4-4 from behind the arc. As I'm typing, J.P. Prince finishes a fastbreak with a dunk. Vols 39, Bulldogs 6.

7:27: Maze just made a Dwayne Wade-esque layup, driving to the basket, weaving through two defenders and laying it in underhanded while falling to the ground. Tennessee 31, UNC-Asheville 5.

7:19: With 14:53 left in the first half, UNC-Asheville is finally on the board thanks to a Terrence Turner free throw. It's now 26-1 Tennessee with 14 minutes remaining. The Vols have forced eight turnovers.

7:09: The Vols are looking sharp so far, a couple of steals and three's from Bobby Maze and Scotty Hopson have Tennessee up 8-0.

7:04: No pyrotechnics during introductions tonight, I guess this game isn't important enough.

6:56: Just a few minutes before tip-off and Thompson-Boling Arena is less than half full.

Pre-game: After opening the season with a sloppy win over Austin Peay, the No. 10 Vols look to assert their dominance over UNC-Asheville. With a victory tonight, Bruce Pearl will have his 100th win with Tennessee.

The Bulldogs dropped their season opener to UNC-Charlotte, 86-70.
