The last time Vanderbilt came out on top on the road against its rivals, things were a bit different around both programs. Unsurprisingly, Tennessee was in the midst of an atrocious conference campaign. The Volunteers were also on the verge of one of the most memorable coaching carousel moments in recent memory. In Nashville, however, the script was flipped. The Commodores were in the middle of their best stretch in the rivalry in decades, as well as their strongest stretch under then-head coach Derek Mason.

LAS VEGAS -- Ja'Kobi Gillespie scored 22 points and made all six of his free throws in the final 35 seconds to lift No. 17 Tennessee to a 76-73 victory over No. 3 Houston in the Players Era Championship on Tuesday. Jaylen Carey added 13 points for the Volunteers (7-0) and Bishop Boswell scored 10, including two free throws with 25 seconds left. Kingston Flemings led Houston (6-1) with 25 points, and Milos Uzan had 17.

To complement blue jerseys and white pants, the team will wear 1980s replica helmets for their Friday night game against the Kansas State Wildcats. Arizona's white throwback helmet features red, white and blue stripes in the middle, blue paw prints and a gleaming red "A" on the side.

In another hit to the Tennessee Volunteers' secondary, starting cornerback Rickey Gibson III will be out for "an extended period" after injuring his left arm in Saturday's season-opening win against Syracuse. Gibson, a returning starter, left Saturday's game in the second quarter. Coach Josh Heupel did not specify what the injury was or reveal a possible timeline for the return of Gibson, who had 32 tackles, 5 pass breakups and a forced fumble last season, The No. 24 Vols face East Tennessee State on Saturday before hosting No. 5 Georgia on Sept. 13.

He recorded one strikeout and totaled 19 pitches (nine strikes) against four batters.

"Coach (Rick) Barnes sees me as a one-and-done type player. He has done it before with Kevin Durant. He sees me as that kind of guy for his program."

After being saved, Sullivan was upset to learn his beloved Volunteers lost their starting quarterback, highlighting the deep connection he has to his home and the team.

Chase Dollander marked his second MLB start with an impressive display, striking out seven batters in 5.2 innings, although he took a loss against the Padres.
