RTI Reaction: Tennessee Heads Back Into the Win Column With Strong Top 15 Win | Rocky Top Insider
No. 6 Tennessee picked up another Top 25 win on Tuesday night in Knoxville with a 68-56 win over No. 14 Mississippi State in the Food City Center.
Tennessee jumped out to a sizeable lead in the first half as the Vols’ defense made life miserable for the Bulldogs’ offense. By the end of the first 20-minute period, Mississippi State had only scored 16 points.
While the Bulldogs did make a nice comeback to start the second half with 15 points in the first five minutes, Tennessee was also to keep their opponent down with a 23-point showing from senior guard Chaz Lanier. Tennessee also picked up 20 combined points from Jordan Gainey and Jahmai Mashack while Felix Okpara finished with nine points and 12 rebounds.
Tennessee totaled more rebounds, assists, and had fewer turnovers than Mississippi State on Tuesday night – a recipe for success.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Big hearts, small hands! Tennessee kids are stepping up to make a big difference this summer.
First Lady Maria Lee on Tuesday announced the eighth annual Tennessee Kids Serve Summer Challenge, encouraging young students to dedicate part of their summer to helping others.
The program, part of the Tennessee Serves initiative, runs from June 1 through Aug. 1 and is open to rising kindergarteners through rising sixth graders across the state.
Participants must complete at least two hours of service across two of eight designated categories to finish the challenge, with top participants earning an invitation to a September carnival at the Tennessee Residence.
Since its launch in 2019, more than 3,500 children have contributed over 15,000 hours of service through activities ranging from park cleanups to assisting nursing homes and raising funds for disaster relief.
Registration opened Tuesday, with parents and guardians able to sign up participants and access additional details through the First Lady’s official website.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WZTV) — A bill moving through the Tennessee Legislature could reshape how pharmacies do business in the state, with CVS warning it could lead to widespread store closures.
The Tennessee Senate has passed legislation that would change the way pharmacies can operate. The proposal has been dubbed “the CVS bill” because it directly impacts the drugstore chain.
Under the bill, drugstores would no longer be allowed to negotiate prices directly with insurance providers or government programs. Instead, a third party would be required to step in.
The bill is now under debate in the House. CVS says the change would force more than 100 of its pharmacies to close across Tennessee, but lawmakers disagree.
