Tennessee scored 16 of the first 18 points against No. 13 Baylor in the Baha Mar Championship final and never looked back, en route to a commanding 77-62 triumph. The Vols improved to 6-0 and claimed its second trophy in the Bahamas in the last three years—it won the 2022 Battle 4 Atlantis—behind a game-high 25 points from fifth-year guard Chaz Lanier all in the first half alone. His dazzling start helped the victors lead wire-to-wire, including by 20-plus for nearly 19 consecutive minutes. Tennessee immediately grabbed control of the game, grabbing a 16-2 advantage after just 3:53 of action behind a scintillating 5-of-5 long-range barrage from Lanier that included three straight makes in 74 seconds. Jordan Gainey registered 16 points, shooting 7-of-8 from the line and 3-of-6 on 3-pointers, with 10 of his points after the break. Sophomore forward Cade Phillips amassed 11 points on a perfect 4-of-4 field-goal clip. Senior forward Igor Miličić Jr., scored 10 points, shooting 3-of-4 on field goals. Jahmai Mashack pulled down a team-best six rebounds and garnered Baha Mar Championship All-Tournament Team designation for a two-game performance that featured tremendous defense. Fellow senior guard Zakai Zeigler had a season-best nine assists and a co-season-high three steals, with both numbers pacing all players.
