A top 25 college basketball game was contested on Saturday at Food City Center. No. 18 Indiana defeated No. 12 Tennessee, 66-62, in a charity exhibition game.

Rankings reflect the preseason USA TODAY Sports Men’s Basketball Coaches Poll.

For exhibition games between two Division I teams, the NCAA mandates that the host school must sell tickets and donate proceeds to a designated charity. The Vols and Hoosiers agreed to support the John McLendon Foundation.

Tennessee led at halftime, 26-25, against the Hoosiers. The game had three lead changes and was tied on four occasions.

Zakai Zeigler led Tennessee with 13 points. Jordan Gainey (12) and Chaz Lanier (10) also scored double-figures for the Vols.

Igor Milicic Jr. was Tennessee's leading rebounder (8), while Zeigler led the Vols with eight assists.

Indiana forward Malik Reneau led all scorers with 21 points.

Terry Oglesby, Pat Adams and Jeb Hartness were game officials.

Tennessee will tip off its 2024-25 basketball season on Nov. 4 versus Gardner-Webb at Food City Center (7 p.m. EST, SEC Network+).
